A large ensemble built around Tedeschi's vocals and Trucks' slide guitar, pulling from soul, blues, and rock.
For a sense of their range, put on 'Midnight In Harlem' and then 'Do I Look Worried'. One's a slow-burning soul ballad, the other leans into rock, but both have that live-band feel they're known for.
The band formed in 2010 around a partnership that had been building for years, with their first album 'Revelator' arriving in 2011. Their sound is anchored by Tedeschi's voice and Trucks' slide work, but it's the full ensemble, keyboards, horns, multiple drummers, that gives their music its heft. A song like 'Made Up Mind' shows how they can lock into a groove that feels both loose and precise.
They started as a large group with players like Kofi Burbridge on keys and J.J. Johnson on drums. The lineup has shifted over the years, with Gabe Dixon and Tyler Greenwell joining later, but they've kept releasing albums steadily from 'Made Up Mind' in 2013 to the two-part 'I Am the Moon' project in 2020 and 2021.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
