Early Life

Alison Krauss was born Alison Maria Krauss on July 23, 1971, in Decatur, Illinois. Her father, Fred, was a German immigrant who earned a doctorate in psychology and later went into real estate. Alison's mother, Louise, is an illustrator of textbooks and magazines. Alison and her older brother, Viktor, grew up in Champaign, and Krauss began studying classical violin when she was 5 years old. Alison told "The Washington Post" in 1990, "One of the requirements of being a child in my family was take up an instrument for five years, and my mom didn't want drums banging around all the time." Louise played guitar and banjo, and Viktor played double bass and piano as a teenager and became a rock and jazz multi-instrumentalist.

Viktor has served as a sideman for many artists, and he performed on Alison's albums "Now That I've Found You: A Collection" (1995), "Forget About It" (1999), and "A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection" (2007).

In 1979, Louise came across a notice for a fiddle competition at the Champaign County Fair and bought a bluegrass album and an instructional bluegrass fiddle book. Krauss learned to play some of the album's songs by ear, and she placed fourth in the novice category. In the early '80s, she sang and played fiddle with Marvin Lee Flessner's country band, and in 1983, her parents gave her a custom violin. When Alison was 13, she came in first in the Walnut Valley Festival Fiddle Championship and was named the "Most Promising Fiddler in the Midwest" by the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass in America.
