The Arcadia tour was in support of the first album in 14 years from Krauss and Union Station, her longtime acoustic band. Billed as a collection of songs that are “contemporary reflections on history,” the LP includes tracks written by several writers, including JD McPherson and Sarah Siskind, and marks Krauss’ first album with Union Station, the band she joined as a teenager, since Paper Airplane back in 2011.
