Singer-songwriter, poet, actor and multi-instrumentalist Willie Watson has been announced as support on all dates of Alison Krauss and Union Station’s 2025 North American tour. The run kicks off on April 25th, 2025, in Atlanta, GA and will continue on until the end of September. The five-month tour will snake throughout the US and Canada and highlights include The Beacon Theatre in New York City on September 12th as well as a stop at the Chicago Theatre in Chicago, IL on June 7th, The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, CA on July 13th and The Allied Music Center at Massey Hall in Toronto, on August 19th. Presale begins Thursday, December 5th with wide on-sale taking place this Friday, December 6th at 10AM Local Time.
The tour comes on the heels of his latest release – Willie Watson – his first-ever solo album of original material – over 20 years into his career. The collection of songs is honest and potent, an unadorned reflection of Watson’s life, his mistakes, his traumas and his gratitude for to still be here, to still be alive and to still be loved. It’s the type of record that can’t come early in one’s career and was won after a life of hard battles and difficult lessons. The former founding member of Old Crow Medicine Show has been a part of numerous musical projects, soundtracks, and films. Willie Watson is out everywhere now, via Little Operation Records
