Alison Krauss kicks off a 50-city 2018 tour on May 16 in Tulsa, OK and will make a stop at the Akron Civic Theatre on September 11.
The 46-year-old musician and singer will co-headline many of the tour dates with Willie Nelson and Family. The two have in common an extensive relationship with producer and songwriter Buddy Cannon. Krauss’ 2017 album, Windy City, was produced by Cannon and was her first solo project in almost 18 years. The project was met with critical acclaim and garnered her two Grammy nominations and made it’s debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums and Top Country Bluegrass charts.
Krauss has released 14 studio albums, her first coming with Rounder Records when she was only 16 years old. Her projects over the years have covered her solo career and releases with her long-time band Union Station and her 2007 collaboration with Robert Plant on Raising Sand.
She is a 27-time Grammy Award winner (tied for second with Quincy Jones), and has nine Country Music Association Awards, fourteen International Bluegrass Music Association Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards and two Gospel Music Association Awards. An accomplished fiddle player, Krauss also became a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 1993 at the age of 21.
