Tedeschi Trucks Band | Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek

Tedeschi Trucks Band is an American blues-rock and soul ensemble formed in 2010 by singer-songwriter Susan Tedeschi and guitarist Derek Trucks. The group emerged from the merging of their individual solo bands after the couple married, bringing together a large, rotating lineup that includes dual drummers, a full horn section, and rich backing vocals. Rooted in blues but drawing heavily from soul, gospel, jazz, rock, and Americana, the band quickly became known for its expansive, improvisational live shows and deeply collaborative spirit.

The band released its debut album, Revelator, in 2011, which marked a major breakthrough and won the Grammy Award for Best Blues Album in 2012. The success of Revelator established Tedeschi Trucks Band as a powerhouse in modern roots music, praised for Susan Tedeschi’s soulful, commanding vocals and Derek Trucks’ expressive, slide-guitar work. Their early years were defined by relentless touring and the reputation of being one of the strongest live acts on the circuit.

Over the next decade, Tedeschi Trucks Band continued to evolve artistically with albums like Made Up Mind, Let Me Get By, and Signs, expanding their sound while maintaining emotional depth and musical precision. In 2022, they released the ambitious four-album project I Am the Moon, inspired by Persian poetry and exploring themes of love, loss, and renewal, which became a career-defining artistic statement. With multiple Grammy wins, sold-out tours, and a loyal fan base, Tedeschi Trucks Band has cemented its status as one of the most respected and enduring acts in contemporary American music.
