Alison Krauss & Union Station play the Palace Theatre in Albany on Wednesday, July 22, 2026 at 7:30 PM. Tickets range from $39 to $161. This is one of those shows where the venue and the artist are a perfect match — and the Capital Region is lucky to get it.
About Alison Krauss & Union Station
Alison Krauss is the most awarded female artist in Grammy history — 27 wins, a voice that stops rooms, and a career that spans bluegrass, country, folk, and Americana. Union Station — featuring Dan Tyminski, Jerry Douglas, Ron Block, and Barry Bales — is one of the most technically gifted bands in acoustic music. Together, they create something that transcends genre labels. Songs like “When You Say Nothing at All,” “Man of Constant Sorrow” (yes, that was Tyminski’s voice in O Brother, Where Art Thou?), and “Paper Airplane” showcase a group operating at the highest level.
If you want to immerse yourself before the show, their catalog on Amazon is essential listening. New Favorite and Lonely Runs Both Ways are great entry points.
The Venue
The Palace Theatre is an Albany gem — a restored 1931 movie palace with stunning interior details and acoustics that were built for music like this. Every seat in the 2,800-capacity room feels close to the stage, and the intimacy is exactly what an Alison Krauss show deserves. You can hear every note, every breath, every string bend. The Palace is on Clinton Avenue in downtown Albany, with garages and street parking nearby. Full Palace Theatre venue guide here.
