Now playing — at Mountain Jam here in upstate New York, there are many great acts, but I would call your attention to one at 6:45 pm EDT — the Tedeschi Trucks Band, made up of Susan Tedeschi and Buddha of the guitar, one-time child prodigy, Derek Trucks — and many others. This link takes you to a free live stream.
He came in at age 18 and upstaged them all. He’s now at the end of his tenure — these are the last summer festivals, and he’s calling it quits with the Allmans on the run of eight shows at the Beacon in the autumn.
Derek Trucks is the nephew of long-time Allman Brothers Band drummer Butch Trucks. Derek has been one of the guitarists in the ABB for many years, most often partnered with Warren Haynes (Gov’t Mule, Phil Lesh & Friends, Warren Haynes Band).
Friends took me with to BBKing concert at Hollywood Bowl last summer, it was really the Teceschi Trucks Band concert. AWESOME! Excellent music!
