Robert Plant's creative path has always been tied to a desire to explore new musical territories. He rose to worldwide fame as the singer of the legendary rock band Led Zeppelin, but over the following decades he continued to surprise with bold collaborations and an individual view of music. This is vividly demonstrated both by his Grammy-winning collaboration with singer and violinist Alison Krauss and by the projects Band of Joy and Sensational Space Shifters. Saving Grace is the next chapter in this ongoing journey of discovery.
The group was formed in 2019 on the border between England and Wales, its members coming together through a shared passion for music from different eras. It began informally - conversations in a local pub, exchanging favorite songs, and the desire to find out how they might sound together. The first concerts took place in small local venues without wide publicity. The forced pause caused by the pandemic, in turn, allowed the group's shared sound to develop unhurriedly, with music recorded both in a studio set up in a barn and outdoors, with microphones hung from trees.
Although Plant's name is the most widely known, Saving Grace is fundamentally an equal musical collaboration among its members. A special place in it belongs to Suzi Dian's voice, which intertwines with Plant's vocals in nuanced harmonies and on certain songs comes to the forefront.
"I knew that many of these songs needed another voice," Plant says about the group's formation. Dian's joining became an essential step in shaping Saving Grace's musical identity.
Alongside Plant and Dian, the group includes guitarist Tony Kelsey, guitarist and banjo player Matt Worley, percussionist Oli Jefferson, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown, also known by the stage name Duotone. Their acoustic interplay brings together the traditions of blues and folk, echoes of Mali desert blues, hypnotic rhythms, and psychedelic moods.
The band's album of the same name, "Saving Grace," produced by Plant together with the other musicians, reveals a wide range of sources of inspiration. On it, traditional songs and spiritual music repertoire meet interpretations of songs by Low, The Low Anthem, and Moby Grape. Meanwhile, the four-track EP "Saving Grace: All That Glitters..." continues this musical search, turning to both traditional melodies and the work of Gillian Welch and Bert Jansch.
Saving Grace concerts are defined by close listening to one another, vocal harmony, and the ability to reveal new emotional depth in long-familiar songs. In the historic setting of the Sigulda Castle Ruins Stage, this music will gain a special frame - a summer evening to experience Robert Plant's voice and the sound created by his like-minded companions in person.
Robert Plant and Saving Grace featuring Suzi Dian - July 17, 2027, at the Sigulda Castle Ruins Stage. Tickets on sale from October 30. For L Tips Agency newsletter subscribers, presale will begin on October 28.
