If you like Tedeschi Trucks you should like this.
LOL I was at their wedding, However, I've never played with him. I've met him a dozen or so times.
Man, for a pair of musicians, they've been married for quite a while. That doesn't happen very often.
If I have the story correct, they met each other when she was opening for the Allman Brothers Band, well the incarnation of the band at that time. Trucks was playing slide for the band and had his own band at the time. Eventually, some members of that band formed the Tedeschi Trucks Band with Derek and Susan.
She's come a long way. Early on, she saw some success even though she wasn't a 'fantastic' guitar player. She largely played fairly basic chords and some blues riffs scattered about. It was her voice that got her the fame, in my opinion. Today, she's quite a good guitar player - even playing riffs while singing at the same time.
We met when she came to the Boston area to study. I was still HQed in the area and still actively performing with a band at the time.
I don't have any juicy stories. If I did, I'd say that I don't have any juicy stories to respect their privacy. But, really, I don't have any juicy stories.
If you don't mind me asking, how is it that you came across the Tedeschi Trucks Band?
