Robert Plant’s Musical Evolution Continues With ‘Saving Grace’ Album & Tour

Robert Plant announced Saving Grace, a new album six years in the making. Due out on September 26, the debut effort from the legendary vocalist’s Robert Plant and Saving Grace project has been previewed with a reimagined version of Low's “Everybody’s Song” and will be supported this fall by the band’s first North American tour.

The former Led Zeppelin frontman assembled the diverse group of musicians in 2019 and they’ve spent the past six years creating the 10-track collection and performing a series of concerts together in the United Kingdom and Europe. Robert Plant and Saving Grace finds Plant joined by vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley and cellist Barney Morse-Brown.

“We laugh a lot, really. I think that suits me. I like laughing,” Plant said of his Saving Grace bandmates. “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.”

Recorded between April 2019 and January 2025 in the Cotswolds and on the Welsh Borders, the self-produced Saving Grace sees the band offering new interpretations of classic songs by Memphis Minnie, Bob Mosley (Moby Grape), Blind Willie Johnson, The Low Anthem, Martha Scanlan, Sarah Siskind and Mimi Parker and Alan Sparhawk’s Low. Saving Grace marks Plant’s first album since his 2021 collaboration with Alison Krauss, Raise The Roof.

Robert Plant and Saving Grace paid tribute to Low drummer Mimi Parker the day after her tragic death from ovarian cancer in 2022 by performing “Everybody’s Song” during a concert in Glasgow, Scotland. The band also ran through a cover of Low’s “Monkey” at Glasgow’s King’s Theatre on June 11, 2022.
