Tedeschi Trucks Band

History

After touring together in 2007, as the Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi's Soul Stew Revival, the couple merged their respective groups to form the Tedeschi Trucks Band in 2010. Their first concert was on April 1, 2010, at the Savannah Music Festival.

The first Tedeschi Trucks Band album, Revelator, was released on June 7, 2011. The album peaked at No. 92 on the Canadian Albums Chart, No. 164 in the UK Albums Chart and won a Grammy Award for Best Blues Album.

Their second album, Everybody's Talkin', was recorded live and released in May 2012.

In 2013, the band was nominated for the Blues Music Awards and released their third album, Made Up Mind.

The band gave a Joe Cocker Mad Dogs and Englishmen tribute concert at the 2015 Lockn' Festival featuring alumni musicians from that album including Leon Russell, Claudia Lennear and Dave Mason.

The band's first three albums were published by Sony Masterworks, but their 2016 album, Let Me Get By, was released on Fantasy Records. Produced by Trucks, the album debuted at number 15 on the Billboard 200 album sales chart. In 2017, Tedeschi Trucks Band released a full-length concert film and album recorded in Oakland, CA, Live from the Fox Oakland.

The fourth studio album, Signs, was released on February 15, 2019, on Fantasy Records and Concord. On January 9, 2019, the band announced tour dates through August 2019. Signs was chosen as a 'Favorite Blues Album' by AllMusic.

Layla Revisited (Live at LOCKN') was announced on May 7, 2021. The album is a one-time live recording of the Derek and the Dominos album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs performed in full with Trey Anastasio. Recorded on August 24, 2019, at the LOCKN' Festival in Arrington, VA, the album was released on July 16, 2021.

On April 20, 2022, Tedeschi Trucks Band announced I Am the Moon, a quadruple album featuring 24 original songs which was released in four parts throughout the year, beginning with I. Crescent on June 3, II. Ascension on July 1, III. The Fall on July 29 and IV. Farewell on August 26. The album was also released as a box containing all four parts on September 9.

In 2015, the band joined Leon Russell to cover Joe Cocker's album Mad Dogs & Englishmen in its entirety at Lockn' Festival, reuniting with many of the musicians from Cocker's original 1970 Mad Dogs & Englishmen Tour including Russell, Chris Stainton, Rita Coolidge, Pamela Polland, and Claudia Lennear. They were also joined by Chris Robinson, Doyle Bramhall II, Anders Osborne, John Bell, Dave Mason, and Warren Haynes. A live album of the concert was released on September 12, 2025. The band also performed as part of a tribute to Cocker during his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The band is currently preparing a new studio album for release in 2026.
