The Dan Tyminski Band

The Jerry Douglas Band

Ron Block

As Allison Krauss tours with Robert Plant this summer on the much anticipated “Raising Sand World Tour,” the boys from Union Station will be pursuing other ventures. Union Station will be working on individual projects and tours. This, however, is not a permanent situation, but instead is an exciting opportunity for all of us to see Union Station as individuals performing with their own bands.

Jerry Douglas will be on the festival and tour scene all summer. He will be playing most places with his super group The Jerry Douglas Band. The band consists of Doug Belote on drums, Todd Parks on bass, Luke Bulla on violin, Guthrie Trapp on mandolin and guitar, and, of course, Jerry on the slide. Jerry will also be playing some select shows with other individuals such as Sam Bush, Edgar Meyer, Bella Fleck, and Brian Sutton. For further information, check out Jerry at www.jerrydouglas.com.
