EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Bluegrass/country music star Alison Krauss will perform at Old National Events Plaza's Aiken Theatre on June 3.

Krauss has won 27 Grammy awards, nine Country Music Association Awards, 14 International Bluegrass Music Association Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards and two Gospel Music Association Awards.

Krauss became a member of the Grand Ole Opry at 21.

Now 48, Krauss has released 14 albums including five solo and seven with her longtime band and musical collaborators Union Station. Her collaboration with legendary Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant, called Raising Sand, was certified platinum and won five Grammys, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year.

Krauss has sold more than 12 million records to date.

She played at the same Evansville venue, then known as The Centre, in 2011.
