Krauss is best known for her iconic country hit, “When You Say Nothing at All,” written by Paul Overstreet — a Nashville singer/songwriter who grew up in Vancleave — and Don Schlitz.
It was the group’s first top-10 country hit when Alison Krauss & Union Station recorded the song in 1995 and helped make her a mainstream star.
Krauss, the lead singer who also plays fiddle, signed with Rounder Records when she was just 14 and went on to sell more than 12 million albums and earn 27 Grammy Awards and 44 nominations over her career.
This is the first time she and the band will tour in 10 years.
Among her other country and bluegrass hits are “Whiskey Lullaby,” “Down to the River to Pray,“ “The Lucky One“ and “Baby, Now That I’ve Found You.“
Paul Overstreet was the first inductee into the Mississippi Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2019, during the Mississippi Songwriters Festival. He has written and co-written 27 top 10 songs.
Gautier, home to The Sound Amphitheater, also will be the home of The Mississippi Songwriters Performing Arts Center to honor legendary songwriters.
