Robert Plant has introduced a new musical project to the world. Titled "Robert Plant + Saving Grace", it’s a musical effort the legendary Led Zeppelin vocalist says is 'a songbook of the lost and found'. The 1st bit of new music from Plant’s new era arrived last week. A reimagining of “Everybody’s Song”, originally by the band Low.
This "Saving Grace" project began during the covid pandemic, per a news release that lays it all out.
The genesis of "Saving Grace" began during the lockdown in The Shire, when Plant’s customary wandering was all but forbidden. While his recent adventures have centred around Nashville, having reunited with Alison Krauss for 2021’s chart topping, multi Grammy nominated "Raise 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 Grace, vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, cellist Barney Morse Brown, have spent the past 6 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”, says Plant in a statement. “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”.
The project’s debut album, "Saving Grace", will be released on September 26th, 2025, via Nonesuch Records.
