out now, and to celebrate the occasion the duo have announced their
first tour in twelve years. Beginning on June 1, 2022, the Rock and Roll
Hall of Famer and 27x Grammy-winner will bring their brand-new music to
an international run of bandshell shows, including Chicago’s Jay
Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park on June 7, 2022. Show time is 7:00
pm. Gates open at 5:30 pm. Reserved pavilion seats and general admission
lawn tickets go on sale Friday, December 3 at 10:00 am and will be

Listen to Raise The Roof via Rounder Records:
The
release of Raise The Roof has been accompanied by a host of major
appearances and performances from Plant and Krauss. Earlier today they
gave their first US TV interview tied to the album on CBS Mornings.
Tonight, they will perform on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and
tomorrow on CBS Saturday Morning. In the meantime this afternoon, fans
can see the two icons play a few of the new songs at 12pm CST / 1pm EST
on a global livestream presented in partnership with YouTube (watch), in
addition to a virtual conversation with critic Ann Powers at 1pm CST /
2pm EST, during NPR Music’s Listening Party event (rsvp).
In the
weeks leading up to Raise The Roof, the album has been celebrated with a
New York Times Sunday Arts & Leisure profile, a multi-page spread
in Vanity Fair, as well as features in Variety, Entertainment Weekly,
People, Associated Press and far beyond. Says the New York Times, “Raise
The Roof almost magically reclaims the spectral tone of Raising Sand,
then finds ways to expand on it, delving further into both quiet
subtleties and wailing intensity.”
Recorded at Nashville’s Sound
Emporium Studios, sessions for Raise The Roof began in late 2019 and
wrapped just weeks before the world went into lockdown. Like Raising
Sand, T Bone Burnett produced the collection, which delivers a cosmic
collision of early blues, country deep cuts, revolutionary folk-rock and
lost soul music written by legends and unsung heroes like Merle
Haggard, Allen Toussaint, The Everly Brothers, Anne Briggs, Geeshie
Wiley, Bert Jansch, Ola Belle Reed, Brenda Burns and more.
