Performing songs from their hugely popular and critically acclaimed album, 'Raising Sand', Robert and Alison played a dazzling set at the New Orleans Jazz Fest last month. According to the Boston Herald, "The unlikely pair's harmonies and chemistry were something to behold..." while USA Today declared that the duo "...set the early high bar for the rest of Jazz Fest's eclectic bill".

The Raising Sand tour features legendary producer T Bone Burnett on guitar and renowned musicians Stuart Duncan on guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, Buddy Miller on guitar, autoharp, mandolin and pedal steel, Jay Bellerose on drums and percussion and Dennis Crouch on bass.

Named album of the year by the Sunday Times, 'Raising Sand' has sold over two million copies to date worldwide and topped critics 2007 best-of lists. The thrilling first single "Gone Gone Gone" went on to win a prestigious Grammy Award.
