Bluesfest Touring presents
Grammy Award winners, guitar-slinging royalty and husband and wife dynamic combination, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks bring their Tedeschi Trucks Band to perform for one night only at Hamer Hall.
This 11 piece band overflowing with talent and familial harmony earned a Grammy for Best Blues Album with their first album, Revelator in 2011. Their sophomore album Everybody’s Talkin’, in May 2012 debuted in the top 25 of Billboard’s top albums chart and has maintained a top 3 position on the best-selling blues albums chart since its release.Following his awesome slide-guitar work with The Allman Brothers to his position for over a year as Eric Clapton’s featured soloist, Derek Trucks became the youngest musician to make Rolling Stone’s “Top 100 Guitarists of All Time” – and the only one in the Top Twenty under the age of 50!
Arguably this generation’s greatest female blues guitarist / singer, Susan Tedeschi burst onto the scene with her breakthrough album ‘Just Won’t Burn’ and from here won multiple awards. Susan Tedeschi is an exceptional blues guitarist, possessing an awe-inspiring vocal prowess with an ability to dig deep and deliver powerful R&B belters or wrap her voice around a gentle ballad.
Performing with the Tedeschi Truck Band is Troy ‘Trombone Shorty’ Andrews and Orleans Avenue. They stir together old-school New Orleans jazz, funk and soul, laced with hard-rock power chords and hip-hop beats which has led to rave reviews wherever they play.
