In 2012, Tedeschi Trucks Band won the Grammy for Best Blues Album with “Revelator.” We started all over and put this band together.” Do you want to be in it?’ So I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, OK.’ I had to think about leaving my solo project and just going for it, so that’s what we did. “Then in 2010, Derek decided, ‘I’m going to start a band. “We started doing Soul Stew Revival, which was a mix of the two bands,” Tedeschi said. In 2008, they formed Soul Stew Revival before launching Tedeschi Trucks in 2010. It was over the top! I don’t know if many people could do it, but somehow we did.” Then he started playing with Clapton when the kids were little, so that was four bands and two children. “We had my solo band, his solo band, and the Allman Brothers, which he was in for 15 years, so we basically had three bands,” Tedeschi said. They fell in love during the Allman Brothers tour and eventually married in 2001. “When he was really young I had heard him on the radio with the Allman Brothers … I was dating Sean Costello in 1998, and he said, ‘My favorite guitar player, we’ve gotta go see him, is this guy Derek Trucks … I went to see Derek for the first time … to this day, I haven’t heard a guitar player who can touch him.” They began dating when Tedeschi joined Double Trouble to open for the Allman Brothers in 1999. Of course, Derek was the nephew of Allman Brothers drummer Butch Trucks. “They wanted me to play with Kid Rock, and I didn’t want to do it … my boyfriend at the time was Derek, and he was like, ‘No, you should not play with Kid Rock’ … just stylistically, it was a little strange.” “I was up against Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Macy Gray, Kid Rock - and here’s me, this blues artist, it didn’t make any sense!” Tedeschi said.
King to The Rolling Stones, eventually earning a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist in 2000. She began opening for everyone from John Mellencamp to B.B. “Tom Hambridge … wrote ‘It Hurt So Bad,’ he had the idea for it, and I added my thing to it, but it was mostly his song … he also produced ‘Just Won’t Burn,’ so he was an integral part.” “They were hoping to sell like 60,000 records, and I sold 600,000,” Tedeschi said.
We made our first record.”Īfter the first album “Better Days” (1995), she signed with Tone-Cool Records for her sophomore album, “Just Won’t Burn” (1998), which went gold with the hit “It Hurt So Bad.” “The band that came in first wasn’t really a real band … so we ended up getting all those spots. “We entered the Boston Battle of the Blues Bands and somehow came in first, then went down to Memphis and came in second for the International Blues Competition,” Tedeschi said. I didn’t really know about Bonnie until college, but then I thought, ‘Oh my God, I love her.’ … John Prine, Leonard Cohen, I love great songwriters.”Īfter graduating from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, she officially formed the Susan Tedeschi Band with Adrienne Hayes and Little Annie Raines in 1993. “My dad and mom were both really into Bob Dylan … he would play me the Staple Singers … I also grew up loving Aretha Franklin and, of course, Bonnie Raitt. “My parents were folkies,” Tedeschi said. “We ended up making four records of music that we are in the process of mixing right now … we figured we have some off time, we have a studio in our backyard, so we’re going to make a bunch of music.”īorn in Boston in 1970, Tedeschi listened to all genres of music growing up. “We were home for a good 18 months and couldn’t work because of the pandemic … so we all started writing,” Tedeschi told WTOP. They return to the Warner again from Feb. That’s what happened when Susan Tedeschi married Derek Trucks to form the Grammy-winning band Tedeschi Trucks, which plays Warner Theatre this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Imagine combining one of the great blues vocalists with one of the world’s best guitarists.
