While drummer Yonrico Scott recovers from heart surgery, the Derek Trucks Band will tour with two Aquarium Rescue Unit alumni. Sean O’Rourke will join the group for all dates between November 1 – 11, with Jeff Sipe (Susan Tedeschi Band, Project Z) taking over from November 13-21. The full itinerary for the tour, which opens at Burlington’s Higher Ground this Thursday, can be found the DTB web site.

In addition, Trucks performed with Galactic Friday night at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans, LA. The late-night mystic sideshow featured an array of multi-media effects, fire eaters and even a trapeze artist. Trucks played guitar on Groove Holmes midway through the show.
