Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi have renamed their new project the Tedeschi Trucks Band. The couple jokes, “Yes, it’s two less words, one less ampersand, 13 fewer letters, and a full 50% reduction in syllables! Plus it makes for a much cleaner acronym, TTB, thus continuing the grand tradition of previous band acronyms like DTB and STB. We look forward to making many memories as Tedeschi Trucks Band over the years to come.”

The group will release its studio debut in June and tour throughout the year. Numerous musicians appear on the album, including core band members Kofi Burbridge (Keys/Flute), Oteil Burbridge (Bass), Tyler Greenwell (Drums/Percussion), J.J. Johnson (Drums/Percussion), Mike Mattison (Background Vocals), Mark Rivers (Background Vocals), Ryan Shaw (Background Vocals), David Ryan Harris (Background Vocals), Kebbi Williams (Saxophone), Saunders Sermons (Trombone) and Maurice Brown (Trumpet). In addition, the album features special guests Eric Krasno (Acoustic Guitar) and Alam Khan (Sarod).

Tedeschi Trucks Band will perform at Charleston, SC’s Charleston Music Hall on April 5.
