    trouble all around

    by fancypantsbklyn on 6/10/14Radio City Music Hall - NYC

    I LOVE Alison Krauss and US but her voice is most definitely still affected from surgically repaired vocal chords. Usually every note she sings gives me chills. I felt nothing during the whole akus part and they purposefully did more instrumentals and had her singing harmonies. I hope she gets better !!! Willie was fun to see but he was bad most of the night, out of sync with band, talking not singing. Then again he's 81. I'm still glad i saw him at radio city.

    Please Come Back to Cincinnati Soon!

    by Fabin on 4/6/13Taft Theater - Cincinnati

    Alison sings like an angel and is so much fun on stage also. The rest of the boys do a great job too. Wonderful evening of music and fun. Please come back to Cincinnati soon and if you get a chance to catch them in concert in your town do so. Worth every penny.

    Excellent, friendly, but held something back

    by songsThatMatter on 8/10/12Maryhill Winery - Goldendale

    Having seen AKUS before, I expected greatness. They WERE great on this night, but I give this one 4 stars instead of 5 because something was missing. Alison seemed a little tired, and although she always leaves room in the show for Dan Tyminski and Jerry Douglas to sing or do other solo work, I think she relied on them more than usual and didn't sing as much as I expected. The show was a bit under 2 hours, and I came away feeling like she left a lot of good material out. She did a good number of songs from Paper Airplane, which of course make sense since she is touring for that album. But there was nil from "Forget About It" or "New Favorite" (although Tyminski's "Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn" was MAGNIFICENT). She sang and played great, and they did a fair number of bluegrass jams. That's nice to see! As always, the band plays beautiful, the sound was excellent - not too soft or loud, and beautifully mixed. That sparkling crystal-like sound in her voice came through wonderfully even during quiet passages. Maryhill Winery is a great place to see a show. It's a nice, small outdoor amphitheater, and the wine and food are good, although pricey. Expect to spend $50/couple if you really want to eat and have some wine. The lawn setting is terrific. They have the lawn terraced into comfortable flat areas, and they are good about keeping people from setting up tall chairs or obnoxious tents that might block your view. Kacey Musgraves was the warm-up act. I think she did a credible job. Being a warm-up is always tough, but the crowd welcomed her and gave her a chance. At first, she tried too hard to be "cool", and her audience banter carried a little too much lazy-cool-how-ya-all-doin'-tonight stuff. I worried a bit about this, because one of the great things about AKUS is that they come on stage and they are always just themselves. You feel like they could be family or neighbors playing for you in your living room. So that whole shtick from Musgraves didn't fit in. But to my surprise, after a few songs, she seemed to calm down, relax, and start being herself more. I can't remember any of the songs, but I do remember that around song 3 or 4, she hit her stride and got my attention; I thought to myself, "Aha. She does have something. Now I see why AKUS invited her to be on this tour." So overall, a very very good show, and I'd highly recommend seeing AKUS if you ever get the chance. Her band is still the best-playing and best performing band I have ever seen. I like a lot of kinds of music, so I've been to quite a few rock, metal, county, bluegrass, or classical shows, and AKUS beats them all for the sheer quality of musicianship, and how well they play together and connect with the audience.

    Kind of a let down

    by ThunderD on 8/8/12Chateau Ste Michelle Winery - Woodinville

    Although I've always thought Allison Krause and Union Station are incredible, the show at Chateau Ste Michelle was nothing but boring. Boring band and really boring crowd. They played a lot of their hits but didn't bring any energy to them and the sound system was quiet. Also, even though its a winery, they should at least serve a few craft beers.

    Alison Krause

    by RicksPick on 8/7/12Chateau Ste Michelle Winery - Woodinville

    This was the sixth time we have seen Alison and she was incredible as always. However, the music we have seen before, some songs were five years old! Very unfortunate because we absolutely enjoy her music. Beyond Alison's control was the setting at Ste. Michelle. A fairly good venue but not as good as Marymoor Park. Way too many security and people for the size of the grounds. We were held back in line while hundreds of people went before us and were accused of cutting in line even though we would never do that. We stood in the hot sun for 30 minutes while people in another line moved ahead of us, some people even went to the other line to get in quicker. Don't let all this deter you from seeing the best vocalist of bluegrass. We had a good time and the wine helped ease the pain of stupid security guards.

    Incredible concert for those with decent view

    by Devo7 on 8/6/12Chateau Ste Michelle Winery - Woodinville

    Alison Krauss and Union Station were fantastic, as was the unexpected quality opening act by Kacey Musgraves. The weather couldn't have been better, which made the venue incredible, for those with a good view of the stage. Some grass-dwellers having arrived later may not been blessed with a clean view as the ground is not well graded for optimal viewing on the right side of stage. I was left feeling like I hadn't heard all the songs I wish they played, but I could have stayed all night listening to the A+ quality band.

    What a great show! First, Casy Musgroves(?) came on she sang her heart out....very spunky. Alison and Krauss and her band wowed everyone. From the vocals to the instrumentals ...it was joyous!

    Incredibly Talented

    by WineAndCountryFan on 8/6/12Chateau Ste Michelle Winery - Woodinville

    Great concert--all the musicians are incredibly talented and are given the opportunity throughout the concert to show it to the audience. Alison Krauss has a easygoing, comfortable manner on stage and has a good sense of humor that you can see when she introduces the members of Union Station. She has a fabulous voice and I wasn't a huge fan before I went (my husband always has been), but I am a huge fan now.
