Salt Lake City Weekly’s live music picks for October 8 through October 14.
Robert Plant, Saving Grace & Suzi Dian @ Abravanel Hall 10/8. Robert Plant made his name as singer and frontman of Led Zeppelin, one of the most successful rock bands of the 1970s. From the band’s 1969 self-titled debut through their final release of new material, 1979’s In Through the Out Door, the British foursome redefined hard rock, inspiring countless imitators. Once Led Zeppelin ended, Plant initiated a solo career, with occasional Zep-styled musical projects with guitarist and former Led Zeppelin bandmate Jimmy Page. In recent years, Plant’s creative energies have leaned in an Americana direction, focusing on collaborations with American fiddler Alison Krauss. But Plant has long been a student of rock history, and his latest project effectively brings together several of his musical interests: rock, blues and acoustic forms. Plant and singer Suzi Dian front a group with guitar, banjo and cello, and the band’s 2025 self-titled album covered a broad musical landscape and earned widespread critical praise. With opening act Rosie Flores, Robert Plant with Saving Grace & Suzi Dian comes to Abravanel Hall on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 7:30pm. Resale tickets for this sold-out, all-ages show are $223 and up through seatgeek.com. (Bill Kopp)

How Letty Lawless and the Brine Shrimp Band Beat Big Daddy Cox and His 9 Gigawatt AI Data Center …. The word “melodrama” generally isn’t applied in complimentary terms, but sometimes it can hit just right. For playwright Connor Johnson, taking on the subject of the public pushback against the Stratos Project data center in Box Elder County called for just such an approach. “I think melodrama can offer the ultimate form of catharsis,” Johnson said. “The fact that it can be a pejorative descriptor (because it is so reliant on structure, archetype and telling the audience how to feel) is also its strength. What’s more satisfying than getting to boo the people who are trying to sell your state to the highest bidder? What other genre allows us to throw tomatoes (or water-balloon shaped tomatoes, at least) at our governor?”
