Tedeschi Trucks Band Heads to New York's Beacon Theatre 9/30 - 10/8

This fall Tedeschi Trucks Band will continue their Beacon Theatre tradition of multiple-night residencies for the sixth consecutive year with the greatest number of shows to date. The 12-piece band led by husband and wife Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi have performed at the Beacon Theatre since 2011, and this year's run has expanded to six shows with special guest openers Amy Ray (9/30), Dave Mason (10/4), and Jorma Kaukonen (10/5). Select weekend nights (10/1, 10/7, 10/8) will feature TTB performing two full sets with no openers.

The return to the Beacon adds to the Grammy Award-winning band's growing legacy of delivering one-of-a-kind, unforgettable performances in New York City. Last year, during its sold-out 4 night run, the ensemble debuted numerous new songs, changed up their set lists nightly for fans and played host to brilliant surprise collaborations with guests Jon Batiste, Rosanne Cash, Charles Bradley and David Hidalgo.

TTB's critically-hailed musicianship and full touring schedule have built a dedicated and growing following around the world and earned them a reputation as one of the best live performing bands in the business. Since the January 2016 release of Let Me Get By, (Read New Yorker profile) their tour has taken the group across the globe, with dates in Australia, Japan, Europe and Canada, multiple sold-out night runs in Nashville, Chicago, Washington DC and Philadelphia, and an unprecedented return engagement to New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Most recently, the group wrapped up their summer "Wheels of Soul" amphitheater tour with Los Lobos and North Mississippi Allstars. Numerous nightly collaborations had critics describing the show as a "near-religious experience," "a full night of musical camaraderie" that "boasted plenty of blow-you-away moments." Upcoming highpoints include two nights of filming at in Oakland, CA (Sept 8-9) for a concert film and closing out the year with three nights in Susan's hometown of Boston at the Orpheum Theatre.

Highly respected by their peers, the demand for the married couple on stage and on record continues to increase. On September 1, Derek and Susan joined the live B.B. King tribute concert in Los Angeles to benefit the GRAMMY Foundation and GRAMMY Museum alongside Keb' Mo', Slash, Jimmie Vaughan, Joe Bonamassa, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Joe Louis Walker among others.

In the past year, Derek and Susan have also made contributions in the studio guesting on a number of projects, including The Songs of Blind Willie Johnson: God Don't Never Change, The Wood Brothers (Paradise), Randall Bramblett (Devil Music), and featured Susan duets on new releases from both Eric Church (Mr. Misunderstood) and John Prine (For Better, Or Worse).

'Let Me Get By' (Fantasy/Concord) is the first album the band has released since Derek Trucks' departure from the Allman Brothers Band. It's a completely homegrown record, produced by Derek and delivering all original material written within the TTB family. Let Me Get By earned praise from Rolling Stone, the Wall Street Journal, and the Associated Press, who called it "one of the great records of the year." NPR has praised Trucks and Tedeschi as "two of the best roots rock musicians of their generation."
