Old and young Mod Mobilians alike will be at the Saenger tonight to hear Robert Plant – man of many bands including one called “Led Zeppelin.”

There were tickets on Craigslist – current availability unknown.

According to Mod Mobilian sources, Mr. Plant was spotted at Callaghan’s Irish Social Club last night.

For those unfamiliar with Mr. Plant – from the interweb:

Robert Plant has confirmed a 13 city North American tour. Beginning in July, this 1st 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 in September. 

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, 6 -time Grammy winning collaboration with fellow Rounder artist Alison Krauss.

Note – “Band of Joy” was the first band formed by Plant with John Bonham in the 1960s.

Anyone yelling “Play Stairway”  will be taken outside and beaten in accordance with Saenger policy.
