Spinner.com reports Robert Plant coming to Memphis

(Edit: The show will be at the Orpheum.)

Spinner.com is reporting that Robert Plant will kick off his tour with his new band, Band of Joy, in Memphis. July 13 is the date.

That name might ring a bell for those familiar with Led Zep history… he sang for a band called Band of Joy 1966-67. When Jimmy Page recruited Plant for Zeppelin, Plant told Page he had to hear the drummer from his former band. That drummer, of course, was John Bonham.
