Unquestionably the most formidable husband/wife team in the history of southern rock and blues music, Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi are putting together a new band which is scheduled to hit the road in the spring and summer of 2010. Trucks' slide guitar playing is second to none. He has led his own The Derek Trucks Band for over 15 years, has been the slide guitarist for the Allman Brothers Band for more than ten, toured the world with Eric Clapton” and was featured on the cover of the 2007 Rolling Stone “New Guitar Gods” issue. Combine that with Trucks’ 6th studio album release (“Already Free”) debuting at #19 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart and it’s no wonder why he is the youngest musician to date to make Rolling Stones list of “Top 100 Guitarists of All Time”.
Tedeschi has risen to fame with multiple Grammy Award nominations. Her powerful singing voice and fearless stage presence have made her one of the most stirring soul and blues musicians of our time. Add her knack for musical truth telling and her commanding guitar playing, and you have an artist who is quickly taking her place as the new generation’s greatest female blues guitar/singer and, perhaps, one of the best ever.
With the added accolade of individual 2010 Grammy Award nominations, this duo will undoubtedly take the world by storm and are poised to become one of the greatest husband and wife performing duos of all time.
Here's what the press has been saying:
“It's safe to say the chemistry that makes the couple's marriage work is there in spades when they play music together. It didn't take long for the magic in Trucks' fingers and the bluesy soul in Tedeschi's voice to get the picnicking masses on their feet...It's hard to imagine any of the 11 remaining shows topping Trucks and Tedeschi's opening salvo...”
-Salt Lake Tribune
"...two of the best young blues musicians in the world. Tedeschi, whose singing never ceases to amaze, mixed with 'Trucks' jaw-dropping solos left everyone in the crowd--and on the stage-- breathless." -Deseret News
“After witnessing Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi's ...show kicking off the Red Butte Garden summer concert series, it's safe to say the chemistry that makes the couple's marriage work is there in spades when they play music together. It didn't take long for the magic in Trucks' fingers and the bluesy soul in Tedeschi's voice to get the...masses on their feet, thrilled by the sounds of opener ‘I Wish I Knew’...” - Dan Nailen
“Derek’s playing is stunning, unlike anything I’d ever heard before.”
-Eric Clapton
"Derek Trucks could very well be the best guitarist of his generation, and
his sixth studio disc is his band's most accessible blues-rock set to date."
- Rolling Stone
“The spiritual poise and uncanny vocal fire of Trucks’ solos and slide
flourishes are rooted in his deep studies of not just blues but jazz and
Indian music.”
–David Fricke, Rolling Stone
“Mr. Trucks is one of the most graceful blues-rock players since Eric
Clapton”
-New York Times Oct 27,2006
“star before he was old enough to drive”
-Rolling Stone cover story “The New Guitar Gods”, February 2007
