Plant’s interest was piqued when he saw an as yet unreleased live-performance video of “The Lion The Beast The Beat” by award-winning director Shaun Silva. He was sufficiently intrigued to rise early just after arriving in Australia to catch GPN’s opening set at the West Coast Blues N’ Roots Festival in Fremantle, 10 hours before his own headlining performance, unbeknownst to the band. Soon after they left the stage, the legendary artist’s emissary approached them and said, to their astonishment, “Mr. Plant requests an audience with you.” During the hour they spent together, the band and Plant bonded, and soon thereafter they received an invitation to join him on the road.
 
The band will come full circle when they return to their home state of Vermont for the third edition of GPN’s own festival, Grand Point North, in Burlington on Sept. 14-15. Haynes’ Govt Mule, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue , Charles Bradley and His Extraordinaires, City and Colour, Felice Brothers and Shovels & Rope and are among the acts confirmed for what promises to be another glorious end-of-summer weekend on the shores of Lake Champlain.
