Mini bio
How it started.
Raised in England’s West Midlands, Plant left home at 16 to pursue music. Local blues bands led him to drummer John Bonham, and the two played together in Band of Joy before Led Zeppelin.
The voice of Led Zeppelin.
Jimmy Page recruited Plant in 1968. With Page, John Paul Jones and Bonham, he became Led Zeppelin’s lead singer and lyricist until the band ended in 1980. Led Zeppelin IV includes “Black Dog,” “Stairway to Heaven” and “Going to California.”
Following the songs.
Plant began his solo album career with Pictures at Eleven in 1982. His partnership with Alison Krauss brought Raising Sand in 2007 and Raise the Roof in 2021, with T Bone Burnett producing both. Raising Sand won Album of the Year at the 2009 Grammys.
Close to home.
Saving Grace started as a quiet local project in 2019 on the Welsh borderlands. Plant and the band found common ground in blues, folk, gospel and country. Their first album, released in 2025, grew from informal recording sessions in barns and outdoors.
