Robert Plant has announced a series of spring US concert dates with his new band Saving Grace.
The lineup of Plant, vocalist Suzi Dian, percussionist Oli Jefferson, guitarists Tony Kelsey and Matt Worley made their debut last year with a series of surprise gigs in small venues across England, Wales, and Ireland and, later, a trio of UK dates supporting Fairport Convention.
The new outfit bills themselves as performing 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.
Presales for the two-week, seven-show run - which will open in Minneapolis, MN on May 12 – will begin on Wednesday, March 4 at 10 a.m. local time, with public tickets going on sale starting Friday, March 6 at 10 a.m. local time
Plant and Saving Grace are previewing the spring tour with video of their cover of Low’s “Everybody’s Song.”
Inspired by his recent podcast series of the same name, the Led Zeppelin frontman released a limited-edition seven-inch singles box set, “Digging Deep”, in December; the 8-disc package includes 16 A-sides and rare B-sides as featured in the first two seasons of the program, with material spanning three decades of Plant’s extensive solo career.
