Robert Plant presents Saving Grace featuring Suzi Dian with special guest Taylor McCall | Hastings

Following a triumphant sold-out November run, Robert 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 their 2024 live return with the Never Ending Spring tour coming to Hastings White Rock on Saturday 23rd March.

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 of 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 7 after finding his grandfather’s guitar that was stashed under the bed. Taylor dove headfirst into mastering the instrument, completely self-taught. At 17, 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 10.
