Alison & Robert in Bham

Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, the unlikely duo that recorded the CD Raising Sand, are coming to Birmingham on the subsequent tour.

They're scheduled at the BJCC Arena on April 26. Tickets are $45-$65 and go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster. I'm guessing that the BJCC will have a curtain halfway across it because I don't think Krauss & Plant can fill the entire 18,000-seat arena. So you're looking at about 9,000 or so tickets available.
