Once again the award-winning Tedeschi Trucks Band makes their sixth
headlining appearance at the 2018 Sunshine Music Festival and has handpicked an
unparalleled line-up of exciting acts on two live music stages along with a
wider array of refreshing craft beers and a larger variety of food
vendors.
The Festival will kick off
Saturday, January 13, 2018, NOON, at Vinoy Park, St. Petersburg in the Tampa
Bay Area and then Sunday, January 14, 2018, NOON at Mizner Park Amphitheater,
Boca Raton in South Florida.
For the sixth year in a row the Tedeschi
Trucks Band, or TTB as their loyal fans prefer to call them, appear in what has
fast become their signature musical event.
Now with a catalog of five albums and nearly a decade of steady touring
in the U.S. and abroad, Tedeschi Trucks Band carries a distinguished reputation
earned from both audiences and critics as one of the premier live bands in the
world. The 12-piece powerhouse, led by
the husband-and-wife team of guitarist Derek Trucks and guitarist-singer Susan
Tedeschi, continues to expand a growing repertoire of original material written
both individually and as a band, plus tasty covers deep-seated in American
Roots, embracing genres, from rock, jazz, blues, and Americana to gospel,
country, soul, and funk. Their latest
release, Live From the Fox Oakland, (March, 2017) CD/DVD was recorded in a
single night and beautifully captures the group’s incredible power in concert.
The double-disc live recording, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Blues and #6
Rock Albums chart, showcases the band’s ability to move seamlessly from
blistering rock and blues to soulful ballads and includes their take on classics
from Derek and the Dominos, Leonard Cohen, and even Miles Davis among TTB’s
original songs. The film also gives a behind-the-scenes look at the band on the
road.
Curated by Tedeschi Trucks Band, other
exciting top acts announced on this year’s bill for the Festival are: Phish
bassist and multi-instrumentalist Mike Gordon who has just released his new
solo album “OGOGO”; Medeski Martin & Wood effortlessly straddling the gap
between avant-garde improvisation and accessible groove-based jazz; Galactic
the seminal New Orleans funk band that is consistently pushing their artistic
boundaries; Hot Tuna featuring the legendary guitar and bass bluesy sounds of
former Jefferson Airplane members Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady; Foundation Of
Funk featuring the legendary backbone of The Meters drummer Zigaboo Modeliste
and bassist George Porter, Jr. with special guests Eric Krasno and John
