Runner-up on Season 10 of American Idol, Alaina’s strong vocal performances earned comparisons to the Country genre’s premier vocalists, Carrie Underwood and Martina McBride. A record-breaking 122.4 million votes were cast for Lauren and Idol winner Scotty McCreery. Soon after, she made her much-anticipated Grand Ole Opry debut to sing her debut hit, “Like My Mother Does.” Her debut album “Wildflower” was released in 2011 and landed at No. 2 on the Billboard’s Top Country Album chart and an impressive No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200. 

Tickets are $25, $30 and $35.
