Robert Plant - Saving Grace

 

Robert Plant — Saving Grace

Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant didn't take long to discover an undeniable musical chemistry with his new band, Saving Grace. In February 2019, Plant booked a trio of shows at tiny, off-the-radar theaters across England to workshop songs largely utilizing acoustic instruments, including bango and accordion.

"I did this basically to keep me away from the tedium between projects," Plant told Rolling Stone while chilling in a hotel room between shows in Lucca, Italy, and Juan-les-Pins, France. "I just liked the idea of getting out and playing these tiny weenie little shows, and just showing up with no expectations, nothing at all."

Plant formed a bond with drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, cellist Barney Morse-Brown, and vocalist Suzi Dian. When space cleared up in all their schedules, more Saving Grace shows were booked with very little advance notice. They also started laying the groundwork for a studio album.  

When the Plant/Alison Krauss tour wrapped up in the fall of 2024, Plant was finally able to focus all of his energy on the Saving Grace studio LP they started back in 2019. The self-titled album is coming out Sept. 26, 2025 and leadoff single "Everybody's Song" can be heard right now.
