<p> Singer-songwriter-guitarist Susan Tedeschi, a three-time ACL veteran who first appeared on the program in 1999, and her guitar hero husband Derek Trucks merged their solo careers to form the Tedeschi Trucks Band in 2010. &nbsp;The now 12-piece strong powerhouse—one of music’s most talented and admired ensembles—lights up the ACL stage in their debut, arriving at the top of their game and presenting gems from their newly-released third studio album, <em>Let Me Get By</em>. &nbsp;Opening with the uplifting new track “Don’t Know What It Means,” the virtuoso outfit, complete with horns and back-up singers, perform a thrilling seven-song set combining their distinctive hybrid of Memphis soul, R&amp;B, blues, rock and classic song craft. &nbsp;Tedeschi puts down her guitar to let her powerful vocals shine on several standout covers including a Joe Cocker-inspired version of the Box Tops’ hit, “The Letter,” and the Leonard Cohen classic “Bird On A Wire.” &nbsp;As they close out the stellar set with a highlight, “Midnight in Harlem” (from their Grammy-winning 2011 debut <em>Revelator</em>), featuring Trucks’ mesmerizing slide-guitar solo, TTB turn the soulful ballad into a gorgeous wall of sound for a perfect close to a thrilling performance and an outstanding season. &nbsp;The transcendent set has the Austin crowd walking on air inspired by the undeniable power of great music. &nbsp;</p>
<p> “Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks are a match made in blues-rock heaven, and are proof-positive of the old maxim that the whole is greater than the sum of these musical partners,” says ACL executive producer Terry Lickona. &nbsp;”Together they show how their new songs are a big leap forward for these road veterans.”</p>
