ROBERT PLANT AND THE BAND OF JOY TO TOUR U.S.A.

JULY SHOWS TO INCLUDE MATERIAL FROM NEW ROUNDER ALBUM

Robert Plant

Robert Plant has confirmed a 12 city North American tour. Beginning in July, this first leg of shows, which will be followed by further dates in the fall, will preview material from a new album. Featuring a diverse group of musicians – Patty Griffin, vocals; Darrell Scott, multi-instrumentalist/vocals; Byron House, bass/vocals; Marco Giovino, drums and percussion/vocals; including co-producer Buddy Miller, guitar/vocals. The album is set for release on Rounder, late summer/early fall.

Kicking off in Memphis on July 13 (see full tour schedule below) the tour will feature Plant and the ‘Band of Joy’ – the same musicians who also appear and play on the album.

Says Plant: “It’s been a blast working on these new songs… and I’m enjoying such creativity and vitality. It’s been a remarkable change of direction for all of us and as a group we all seem to have developed a new groove.”

In recent weeks Plant has been in the studio working on the planned release, which will be his first since Raising Sand, the multi-platinum, six-time Grammy winning collaboration with fellow Rounder artist Alison Krauss. Krauss has most recently been recording with her longtime band Union Station, and will be touring with them this summer. The pair do not expect to announce a new album or tour in the coming year, though when asked about the collaboration, Plant says: “Oh yes, Alison and I get together quite often… and sometimes we dance.”

Joe Ely

The four nights of the upcoming and much anticipated Old Settler’s Music Festival, which won an Austin360.com A-List readers poll, promise a bonanza of the acclaimed roots music that has delighted attendees and repeat attendees for 23 years, and will do so again this year. The Austin, TX festival is scheduled for Thursday, April 15, through Sunday, April 18.

Award-winning songwriter-producer-recording artist Joe Ely, a veteran of the road and live performance, headlines Friday. Folk-rock singer-songwriter Patty Griffin – whose duet with Dierks Bentley on his song “Beautiful World” has been nominated this year for a Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals and whose new album, Downtown Church, will be released January 26 – headlines with her band, including Buddy Miller, on Saturday.

Vanguard Records Americana artist Mindy Smith, award-winning banjo virtuoso and independent record label founder Alison Brown with Joe Craven, Alaskan bluegrass band Bearfoot, 7 Walkers featuring Bill Kreutzmann and Papa Mali, The Infamous Stringdusters, Fred Eaglesmith, and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver are also among the more than 30 acts that are slated to perform on four stages at the Salt Lick Pavilion and Camp Ben McCulloch in the Texas Hill Country south of Austin.

Festival-goers can save as much as 30 percent over at-the-gate prices when they order early-bird wristbands by January 31 here.

Available are 4-day wristbands with campground access (Thursday-Sunday), 3-day wristbands with campground access (Friday-Sunday), 3-day no-camping wristbands and all-inclusive Platinum Passes. Children 12 and younger will be admitted free. Camping access is expected to sell out.

In 23 years, Old Settler’s Music Festival has delivered one of the best roots-music festival experiences in the United States with amazing performers including Joan Osborne, Iris Dement, Michelle Shocked, Bruce Hornsby, Yonder Mountain String Band, Nickel Creek, Alison Krauss, Bela Fleck, Rodney Crowell, Vassar Clements, Del McCoury Band, Kasey Chambers, and local favorites Ray Wylie Hubbard, The Belleville Outfit, Hayes Carll and Sarah Jarosz.
