What:     Tedeschi Trucks Band return to Seattle at McCaw Hall in September with support acts Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers. 

Formed in 2010 with a spirit of adventure that saw Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks shelve their equally successful solo careers, Tedeschi Trucks Band, a 12-piece tour-de-force, has quickly become the vanguard of modern roots music. Driven by Trucks, #16 of the top 100 Guitarists of All Time (Rolling Stone), and Tedeschi, blessed with a voice that passionately delivers a range of powerful R&B belters to gentle ballads, the group enlists dual drummers, two vocalists, a three-piece horn section, bass, and a multi-instrumentalist keyboard player for what is a greater-than-the-sum-of-its-parts collective. “A deeply skilled groove machine," (Los Angeles Times) that displays “a peerless brand of musical alchemy as easily cool and consoling as white hot and ascendant.” (Relix) Tedeschi Trucks Band debuted big with its Grammy Award-winning Revelator, 2012’s dynamic live follow up,Everybody’s Talkin’, and 2013’s critically-acclaimed Made Up Mind bolstering the Jacksonville-based group’s growing reputation as the preeminent blues-rock leader. With guitarist Derek Trucks’ departure from The Allman Brothers Band final at the end of 2014, the band has fully dedicated itself to expanding its legendary live performances and finished their fourth studio album Let Me Get By earlier this year.

Let Me Get By was recorded at Swamp Raga Studios, the band’s home studio in Jacksonville, Florida, the album is an absorbing, self-assured, artistic leap forward.  Playing with an economy of power and uncommon grace, the 12-piece outfit—one of the most deeply skilled and admired musical ensembles in the world—explores themes of independence, love and release.

 

Tedeschi Trucks Band

Driven by Susan Tedeschi's impassioned, blues-soaked vocals and Derek Trucks' virtuoso guitar, Tedeschi Trucks Band is an 11-member, American roots-rock tour-de-force. With a growing worldwide reputation for legendary live performances the Grammy-winning group have proven themselves as the preeminent leader in modern blues rock. TTB's third studio album (behind Revelator-2011 and Made Up Mind-2013) is slated for release in January, 2016.
