Nelson’s latest album, American Classic, features a Tin Pan Alley repertoire he explores, with help from Diana Krall on the piano. Standards on the album include "On the Street Where You Live,” and a re-interpretation of “You Were Always On My Mind,” his mega-hit from the early eighties.

“Hopefully, I’m a better singer. Hopefully, I’m a better guitar player—you’re either going to get better or worse, you can’t stay in one spot," Nelson said on the Post's website. "I like to think that the band and I have progressed a lot and learned a lot from doing these songs. There is truth in the statement that you learn by doing, so the more you do ‘em, the better you get.”

Krauss became a member of the Grand Ole Opry at age 21. Since 1985, she has released 14 albums including five solo, seven with her longtime band Union Station, and the Robert Plant collaboration Raising Sand, which was certified platinum and won five Grammys, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year.

Other acts coming to the pavilion include:

• M3 Rock Festival - 3 Day Pass at Merriweather Post Pavilion, May 3-5
• Jason Aldean & Kane Brown at Merriweather Post Pavilion, May 17
• Florence and The Machine at Merriweather Post Pavilion, June 3
• Brandi Carlile at Merriweather Post Pavilion, June 14
• Phish at Merriweather Post Pavilion, June 22 and 23
