ShareRobert Plant’s Saving Grace, the co-operative featuring Suzi Dian (vocals), Oli Jefferson (percussion), Tony Kelsey (mandolin, baritone, acoustic guitar), and Matt Worley (banjo, acoustic, baritone guitars, cuatro) have announced an extra date to their highly anticipated UK tour due to demand. The tour will now culminate with a special hometown show at Wolverhampton The Civic at The Halls on Saturday 25th November 2023.
Since forming in 2019, Saving Grace have received numerous acclaims for their live shows with Bob Harris describing it as ‘One of the best gigs I’ve seen in years’ and Toni Woodward, Americana UK providing a perfect summary; “…These five musicians have produced a supreme ninety minutes of music with considered interpretations of others’ compositions, ensuring they present an innovative exploration of the songs whilst maintaining their true essence. Furthermore, this odyssey has been undertaken in the spirit of appreciation, musicianship, and exultation; they truly are a band of joy!”
Joining the tour as special guest will be singer, songwriter and musician Taylor McCall. The South Carolina native began his musical journey at age seven after finding his grandfather’s guitar that was stashed under the bed. Taylor dove headfirst into mastering the instrument, completely self-taught. At seventeen, the songs that he put together for his debut EPs were testament to his talent as both musician and songwriter; with captivating tracks Jericho Rose, Quartermaster and Waccamaw Drive garnering his 26 million plays to date in his top ten.
Appropriately, it’s his grandfather’s voice that opens Taylor’s striking debut album, Black Powder Soul which was released in 2021. Produced by Sean McConnell (Michael Franti, Wade Bowen), Black Powder Soul is the product of a winding musical journey for McCall and his own sense of unique musicianship-incorporating self-taught styles.
