Robert Plant has announced 7 concerts in Italy to be held between late August and early September, in which he will present the show Saving Grace to the public together with Suzi Dian.
The tour will start on August 26th from Lignano Sabbiadoro and then move on to Macerata, Taormina, Bari, Ostia, Milan and conclude on September 6th in Vicenza.
Saving Grace, the project featuring onstage Suzi Dian (vocals), Oli Jefferson (percussion), Tony Kelsey (mandolin, baritone and acoustic guitars), Robert Plant (vocals) and Matt Worley (banjo, acoustic and baritone guitars, cuatro), made its debut in early 2019 with a series of surprise concerts at small venues in England, Wales and Ireland and, later, a trio of dates in the UK in support of the Fairport Convention. The intimate performances saw the band draw from a repertoire of “music inspired by the dreamscape of Welsh marches,” songs that embrace Plant‘s diverse tastes and influences, particularly his undying passion for British and American folk, spirituals, and traditional blues, including a number of beloved standards and longtime favourites by Doc Watson, Donovan, Moby Grape, and Low, among others.
