Alison Krauss & Union Station announce hefty tour, coming to Cary

Bluegrass superstars Alison Krauss & Union Station are back with their first new album since 2004's Lonely Runs Both Ways. They'll release the the album titled Paper Airplane on April 12 and will hit the road from June to September on a hefty U.S. tour to support it.

They'll return to Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary on August 11. The group last played the venue in 2007. Tickets will go on sale on Friday, April 29 at 10 a.m. via the box office and Ticketmaster for $39.50 or $54.50.

[UPDATE: Dawes is not slated to open the show, making this a show you certainly don't want to miss.]

Check out the music video for the wonderful title track from Paper Airplane below. Guitarist Ron Block looks particularly dapper in his vest, scarf and newsboy cap combination.
