The genesis ofSaving Gracebegan during the lockdown in The Shire, when Plants customary wandering was all but forbidden. While his recent adventures have centred around Nashville, having reunited with Alison Krauss for 2021s chart-topping, multi GRAMMY-nominatedRaise The Roof, it was in the English countryside that Robert Plant connected closely to this diverse group of musicians, who through their own experiences had a shared lean towards his much-loved corners of evocative song. Together, Plant and Saving Gracevocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, cellist Barney Morse-Brownhave spent the past six years growing into a wide-ranging workshop of styles and personalities, weaving through time and circumstance with joy and abandon.

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.
