This Grammy Award-winning ensemble has celebrated 40 years of internationally renowned music-making that reinvents the way the world thinks about musical collaboration, education and outreach— all while playing without a conductor!
Grammy Award-winning blues group the Tedeschi Trucks Band has become one of the hottest, most uplifting acts on the road today. Rolling Stone praised their debut album, Revelator, as a 4-star masterpiece. Their second studio album was released in August 2013.
