Robert Plant will perform on the Monday, September 13 edition of NBC-TV's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon". The show will air at 12:35 a.m. ET.

Plant and Band of Joy, a new version of his pre-Led Zeppelin group which also featured the late John Bonham will release "Band of Joy" on September 13. Plant's first release since recording the six-time Grammy-winning bluegrass album "Raising Sand" with collaborator Alison Krauss in 2007, the "Band of Joy" CD enlists the help of an array of U.S. musicians, all of whom are performing with Plant on tour.

Plant previewed the album at a low-key gig in New York earlier in the summer, and amongst the 12 tracks are covers of a rare Townes Van Zandt track "Harm's Swift Way", as well as two tracks "Silver Rider" and "Monkey" from indie band Low, both from their 2005 album "The Great Destroyer".

Plant says on his web site of "Band of Joy" that "It's been a blast working on these new songs ... and I'm enjoying such creativity and vitality. It's been a remarkable change of direction for all of us and as a group we all seem to have developed a new groove."

The new lineup of Band of Joy includes: Patty Griffin on vocals; Darrell Scott on multiple instruments and vocals; Byron House on bass and vocals; Marco Giovino on drums, percussion and vocals; and co-producer Buddy Miller on guitar and vocals.
