Saving Grace features Plant along with singer Suzi Dian and drummer Oli Jefferson (who are married) plus guitarist Tony Kelsey, guitar and banjo player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown. Their debut album, released in September, is titled Saving Grace and is credited to Robert Plant with Suzi Dian. It includes 10 covers from the worlds of rock (including Low’s “Everybody’s Song,” which you can hear below), blues and gospel.
Saving Grace first performed together in 2019. According to promotional material, “The group members were drawn together by a shared love of roots music both vintage and modern — of blues, folk, gospel, country and those tantalizing sounds that lay in between. Like Plant, they’re keen to explore how these genres are evolving as well as to discover where these repertoires originated — and how collectively they could reinvigorate the music they loved.”
The tour is currently scheduled to run from March 14 to April 7. Other Northeast shows will include The Met in Philadelphia, April 4; and The Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, April 7.
