ROBERT PLANT, ALISON KRAUSS To Perform At Benefit For Hurricane Ike Victims

September 19, 2008

According to The Oklahoman, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss will play a special benefit concert at the Zoo Amphitheatre on Friday, September 26, to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Ike.

The singers were scheduled to perform at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Houston on that date but the show was canceled due to the storm's devastation in that city.

Howard Pollack, head of Innervisions, which produces shows at the Zoo, said he received a call early today from Plant's management, inquiring about the availability of the venue.
