Vocalist Susan Tedeschi

Susan Tedeschi made waves with her 1998 debut album, Just Won’t Burn. Since then, her career has flourished rapidly and she and Derek Trucks have found great harmony together on stage and record.

Bassist Tim Lefebvre

Foxboro, Massachusetts native Joseph Kelly’s bass playing blends jazz improvisation with rock overtones. He has collaborated with top artists including jazz fusion guitarist Wayne Krantz and Whose Hat Is This?, in addition to appearing on David Bowie’s final album Blackstar as bassist.

Trumpet player Ephraim Owens

Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi’s 12-piece ensemble has earned them an exceptional reputation among live acts touring today, thanks to their skillful musicianship blending various genres of American music into one unified sound.

Owens stands out with his lyricism in playing and bright buttery tone that have made him one of the most sought-after jazz musicians today. His performances include working alongside Erykah Badu, DJ Logic and Roy Hargrove among many others.

Backing vocalists Mike Mattison

Mattison shares Trucks’s ability for writing meaningful songs that keep soul music relevant and modern while maintaining classic elements such as an infectious beat and funky melodies.

Over the course of the night, he showcased his versatility as both singer and writer by performing everything from tender ballad “All You Can Do Is Mean It” to a fiery Chess-meets-Stax boogie through “Midnight in Harlem,” garnering rave reviews for his performance.

Joe Russo’s Almost Dead invited Chakour to perform two songs during Saturday night’s show at The Eastern.
