Robert Plant Has A New Band Saving Grace, A New Song and A New Album On The Way

Robert Plant will release a new album ‘Saving Grace’ in September with the album title also the name of his new band.

Plant and Saving Grace are Robert on vocals with vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, cellist Barney Morse-Brown.

Plant calls ‘Saving Grace’ his ‘Songbook for the lost and found”.

“We laugh a lot, really. I think that suits me. I like laughing,” Plant says. “You know, I can’t find any reason to be too serious about anything. I’m not jaded. The sweetness of the whole thing … These are sweet people and they are playing out all the stuff that they could never get out before. They have become unique stylists and together they seem to have landed in a most interesting place.”

‘Saving Grace’ has been five years in the making with the origins starting during the pandemic lockdown. The album is Robert’s first solo project since 2017’s ‘Carry Fire’ with backing band Sensational Space Shifters, who also backed him on 2014’s ‘Lullaby and … The Ceaseless Roar’ (2014).

In between those Plant recorded the ‘Raise The Roof’ album with Alison Krauss.
