Robert Plant is bringing his new group, Saving Grace, to North America. The band, which debuted in early 2019 with surprise gigs in England, Wales and Ireland, will perform seven dates in the U.S. this coming May.
The band is made up of Plant on vocals, Suzi Dian (vocals), Oli Jefferson (percussion), Tony Kelsey (mandolin, baritone and acoustic guitars), and Matt Worley (banjo, acoustic and baritone guitars, cuatro).
According to a press release, the band “draw[s] from a repertoire of ‘music inspired by the dreamscape of the Welsh Marches,’ songs that span Plant’s diverse tastes and influences, notably his lifelong passion for British and American folk, spirituals, and traditional blues, including a number of beloved standards and longtime favorites by Doc Watson, Donovan, Moby Grape, and Low, among others.”
The tour begins on May 12 in Minneapolis, Minn. at the Pantages Theatre and concludes with a performance at the Lincoln Theatre in Washington, D.C. on May 23. Tickets to all shows go on sale on Mar. 6 at 10 a.m. local venue time (except for their May 15 gig in Chicago, which goes on sale on Mar. 16).
