History
After touring together in 2007 as the Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi's Soul Stew Revival, the couple merged their respective groups to form the Tedeschi Trucks Band in 2010.[1] Their first concert was on April 1, 2010, at the Savannah Music Festival.[2]
The first Tedeschi Trucks Band album, Revelator, was released in June 2011.[3] The album peaked at No. 92 on the Canadian Albums Chart,[4] No. 164 in the UK Albums Chart[5] and won a Grammy Award for Best Blues Album.[6]
Their second album, Everybody's Talkin' was recorded live and released in May 2012.[7]
In 2013, the band was nominated for the Blues Music Awards [8] and released their third album, Made Up Mind.[9]
The band gave a Joe Cocker tribute concert at the 2015 Lockn' Festival[10] featuring alumni musicians from Cocker's bands.[11]
The band's first three albums were published by Sony Masterworks,[12] but their 2015 album Let Me Get By was released on Fantasy Records.[13] Produced by Trucks, the album debuted at number 15 on the Billboard Top 200 album sales chart.[14]
