With a Grammy apiece under their belt, the recent Led Zeppelin reunion show wrapped up, and last year's platinum-selling collaboration LP Raising Sand, you'd expect that Robert Plant and Allison Krauss would be looking forward to some well-earned R&R. Always ones to buck expectations, the erstwhile Zeppelin frontman and the former conductor of Union Station are setting out for another tour. Or rather, as their press release terms it, additional fall dates for their Raising Sand tour. Just call it as a communication breakdown.
Backed by an all-star ensemble led by producer T-Bone Burnett, the duo will be jaunting across the Midwest and West Coast, hitting a festival or two along the way. Keep your oars threshing and your eyes peeled for the western shore as this dynamic duo sets off in the fall:
September
23 - Kansas City, Mo. @ Starlight Theatre
24 - St. Louis, Mo. @ Fox Theatre
26 - Houston, Texas @ Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion
27 - Austin, Texas @ Austin City Limits Festival
30 - Portland, Ore. @ Theatre of the Clouds
October
1 - Seattle, Wash. @ WaMu Theatre at Qwest Fields Event Center
3 - San Francisco, Calif. @ Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival
4 - Kelseyville, Calif. @ Konocti Harbor
5 - Saratoga, Calif. @ The Mountain Winery
