Tyminski shakes dust off his old band
"With Alison Kraus’s Union Station on hiatus for most of 2008, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist DanTyminski is stepping back into his own arena.
He’s formed a new incarnation of the Dan Tyminski Band, with whom he is currently recording a new album and preparing a national tour of festivals, arts centers, and listening rooms.
Shades of the old are in with the new group, including Union Station bandmate Barry Bales on bass former Union Station and Mountain Heart member Adam Steffey on mandolin, Ron Stewart on banjo and fiddle and newcomer Justin Moses, doubling on the fiddle and Dobro.Tyminski’s band will crank up the touring bus in the new year with performances on the West Coast on Jan. 4 and 5. The band is playing at The Independent, 628 Divisadero St., in San Francisco
at 8 p.m. Jan. 4. Hot Buttered Rum will be the opening act. The Jan. 5 show will be held at 6 p.m. at the River City Bluegrass Festival, which takes place at the Oregon Convention Center, 777 N.E. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Portland, Ore.
As a member of Alison Krauss’ band for the past 13 years, Dan Tyminski has participated in a string of critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums. He also appears on Krauss’ solo album Forget About It (1999) and on her multi-platinum 1995 compilation, Now That I’ve Found You: A Collection, as well as 2007’s 100 Miles or More: A Collection.
Tyminski has been named the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Male Vocalist of the Year three times. In 2000, he received a Country Music Association award for Single of the Year and a Grammy award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals for “Man of Constant Sorrow,” from the hit movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” Tyminski was the singing voice of George Clooney.

WOW, Dan is kicking off his tour in my back yard!
Unfortunately, his second stop here in SF was a wash-out. 
We had the worst storm in a decade, with flooding and hurricane winds, so any thoughts of going to the show were dashed... I don't even know if the band got here because the airport closed down the day before the show. 
If they did get to play, based on the reviews from Nashville, I may have missed a great night. I have to check the reviews....
