Robert Plant with Saving Grace and Suzi Dian are bringing Up the Sharp End to a US tour in celebration of their critically acclaimed recent album, Saving Grace.

Though Robert Plant is, literally and figuratively, the biggest name on the cover art for Saving Grace, he would be the first to say that the album is very much a group effort, with its title also serving as this new band’s moniker. The group members were drawn together by a shared love of roots music both vintage and modern- of blues, folk, gospel, country and those tantalizing sounds that lay in between. Like Plant, they’re keen to explore how these genres are evolving as well as to discover where these repertoires originated, and how collectively they could reinvigorate the music they loved.
