As husband-wife couples go in the world of music, it is a challenge to find a duo as well-fitted and naturally prolific as that of singer/guitarist Susan Tedeschi and guitarist Derek Trucks. They are both heavily steeped in the blues tradition, yet open to far-ranging influences including rock, gospel, jazz and World music. Each has produced recordings that share a sensibility best described as a swampy mix of rootsy, rockin’ American music. The two have guested on each other’s albums, toured together intermittently, and last year they each received individual Grammy nominations in the category of “Best Contemporary Blues Album” for their 2009 albums, Tedeschi for Back To The River and Trucks for Already Free (which he won). As well, they often perform together with the Allman Brothers Band–with whom Trucks continues to play as co-lead guitarist.
In June 2011, Tedeschi Trucks Band released its debut recording Revelator, the result of eighteen months of dedicated musical focus. True to Trucks’ promise, the album is a confident yet unforced triumph offering a cohesive vision: an idyllic, musical world in which the echoes of so many great traditions– Delta blues and Memphis soul, Sixties rock and Seventies funk–flow together naturally, blending with an entirely original, modern sensibility.
And true to a title that suggests both the gospel-flavored intensity and stunning, soulful impact of its twelve original tracks, Revelator includes smoky, blues-dipped rockers and heart-stilling ballads that show off, respectively, the gutsier and softer side of Tedeschi’s vocal ability, plus a series of emotive, story-telling solos shaped by Trucks’ uncanny agility on slide-guitar.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on June 8th at 9:00 AM. Ticket prices range from $29.50, $45 and $65 in advance. All seats $2.00 higher day of show! Tickets available online at mutotix.com, by phone at (734) 763-TKTS, or at the MUTO box office!
