Nearly one year into playing together, Robert Plant & The Band of Joy has found that rare sweet spot
where composition and improvisation meld to create a firey and soulful brand of jubilant rock’n’roll. Jim
Fusilli of the Wall Street Journal said, “The concerts are an eclectic mix pulled together by the charm and
force of Mr. Plant's personality, the wonder of his voice and his spirited band.”
The band is touring in support of the two-time Grammy-nominated Band of Joy, which Rolling Stone
magazine in its four-star review called “sweet, elegant folk that still swings like Satan's barn door.” The
touring band is the same that made the record: Patty Griffin, vocals; Darrell Scott, multi instrumentalist/vocals; Byron House, bass/vocals; Marco Giovino, drums and percussion/vocals, and co-producer Buddy Miller, guitar/vocals.
The response to Band of Joy has been glowing, and appeared on numerous year-end best-of lists,
including the Rolling Stone Top 30, the Spin Top 40, the American Songwriter Top 50, the Uncut Top 50
and the Q Top 50, to name a few. Time called the new album “smoldering,” while Entertainment Weekly
noted that Plant “sounds vocally re-energized.” Spin described the songs as “moonshine-soaked country
blues with a gospel undercurrent,” and American Songwriter claimed that the record “reveals another side of Plant’s persona, and touches on all the places he’s been while simultaneously pointing to an appealing, restless future.” The Washington Post hailed, “Plant has nuance and subtlety to match his power and range,” while the New York Times raved that the performances on Band of Joy are “consistently
surprising.
