The Rumi Poetry Club and Golden Braid Books presents: Autumn with Rumi

Join us the first Tuesday of every month this fall for a mystical series of evenings celebrating Sufi Poetry. The Rumi Poetry Club was founded by Rasoul Shams in 2007, on the occasion of the 800th anniversary of Jalâluddin Rumi’s birth. Since then, they have celebrated the poetry, inspiration, and perennial teachings of Rumi and other poets of the heart, nature, and spiritual life from around the world. Rasoul Shams first learned of Rumi's poems in his Persian classes as a young boy in Iran. The works of Rumi and other Persian poets have been his spiritual companions for decades. He has studied and lived in India, Japan, and the USA. His books include Rumi: The Art of Loving, Rumi Essays: On the Life, Poetry, and Vision of the Greatest Persian Sufi Poet, The Words of Rumi, and Through Love Pain is Healed.

KRCL Presents: Robert Plant with Saving Grace at Abravanel Hall

Robert Plant returns to Salt Lake City with Saving Grace and Rosie Flores on October 8, 2026 at the Abravanel Hall. Details and tickets here.

Robert Plant brings his acclaimed project Saving Grace to the stage for an unforgettable evening of roots-inspired music that bridges the past and present. Joined by vocalist Suzi Dian, guitarist Matt Worley, guitarist Tony Kelsey, drummer Oli Jefferson, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown, Plant explores a rich musical landscape shaped by folk, blues, gospel, country, and traditional song. Together, the ensemble breathes new life into timeless material while uncovering fresh possibilities within these beloved genres.

Originally formed as a grassroots collaboration in the Welsh borderlands, Saving Grace grew organically from a shared passion for musical discovery. The group’s sound is both intimate and expansive, weaving together haunting harmonies, hypnotic rhythms, and masterful musicianship. Their repertoire ranges from centuries-old traditional songs and spirituals to inventive interpretations of contemporary artists, creating performances that feel both deeply rooted and strikingly original.

For Plant, whose legendary career spans decades and includes his iconic work with Led Zeppelin, Saving Grace represents a creative revelation. Rather than looking backward, the group celebrates the living, evolving nature of folk and roots music, offering audiences a captivating journey through songs of love, loss, hope, and resilience. The result is a powerful and deeply moving concert experience that showcases one of rock’s most celebrated voices in an entirely new light.

KRCL Presents:
Robert Plant with Saving Grace + Suzi Dian
with special guest Rosie Flores
at Abravanel Hall
