ROBERT PLANT AND ALISON KRAUSS To Headline LEAD BELLY At 125 Tribute At Kennedy Center

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss will headline a star-studded lineup for Lead Belly At 125: A Tribute To An American Songster, on April 25th at the Kennedy Center.

Lead Belly is one of the mainstays of American folk music. A master storyteller through song, he (Huddie William Ledbetter) blended the sound of traditional folk with blues, work songs, and spirituals to create a body of music that ranks with the catalogues of Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie, America's other folk music stalwarts.

This special one-night-only concert in collaboration with the Grammy Museum, Lead Belly At 125: A Tribute To An American Songster, celebrates the man and the music featuring many of today's top artists performing Lead Belly classics. The musical evening features Robert Plant, Alison Krauss, and Buddy Miller with Viktor Krauss as headliners, with special appearances by Alvin Youngblood Hart, Billy Hector, Valerie June, Shannon McNally, Josh White Jr., Lucinda Williams, and Dan Zanes, among others.

This performance may be recorded for later broadcast. More details and tickets at this location.

To celebrate Record Store Day 2015, Robert Plant will release a special 10" EP, titled More Roar, which collects three performances from his recent world tour to support his 10th solo record, lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar.

 

 

The release will be limited to 10,000 copies and include live versions of “Turn It Up”, “Arbaden”, “Poor Howard” and “Whole Lotta Love”.

More Roar will be available at participating outlets on April 18th. Visit the official Record Store Day site for more info.
