Their new record, "Raise the Roof," was completed in 2020 but its release was postponed by the pandemic.

Plant and Krauss had been scheduled to play at the inaugural Echoland Music Festival at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, but that event has been canceled. "Echoland Music Festival will no longer take place this year," the event's website reads. "While we have done everything we can do to bring our wild & wonderful world to the banks of the Suwannee River, we have encountered some unforeseen circumstances that we cannot overcome."
