Alison Krauss and Union Station, featuring Warren native Jerry Douglas, will perform at Packard Music Hall Oct. 7 at 8 p.m..

A limited number of $100 Gold Circle tickets will be offered in the first or second row that include the opportunity to meet the band after the show.

Krauss’ most recent album, “Paper Airplane,” was released in April. It followed her 2007 multi-platinum collaboration with Robert Plant, “Raising Sand,” which won six Grammys including “Record Of The Year” and “Album Of The Year.”

Krauss’ band, Union Station, includes Warren native Jerry Douglas on dobro and vocals.

Krauss has sold more than 12 million albums and garnered 26 Grammy Awards, the most for any female and the third most of any recording artist in Grammy history.

The concert will benefit three area organizations: The Camelot Center, Warren Family Mission and The Jimmy Franks and Jim Hillman Scholarship fund of LaBrae High School.

Based in Southington, the Camelot Center is a nonprofit horse riding center that is open to people of all capabilities.

Warren Family Mission provides food, shelter, clothing, spiritual and drug and alcohol rehabilitation help free of charge to Trumbull County and its surrounding areas.

The Jimmy Franks and Jim Hillman Scholarship Fund of LaBrae High School provides funding to qualified students of LaBrae High School looking to further their education.
