Riding high, Floridian, deep-South, blues-heavy, jam-circuit legacy and Allman joy Tedeschi Trucks comes to groove and soothe the Murfreesboro area’s soul, June 19 and 20. The more-intimate-than-usual incarnation of the group comes for the weekend to the spacious outdoor venue with its Fireside Live tour, at Murfreesboro’s local brewery Hop Springs’ open-air amphitheater.
As a scaled-down version of the full Tedeschi Trucks Band’s Wheels of Soul summer tour, this Fireside Live tour brings the same nod-worthy, mesmerizing blues jam vibe from the usually duodectet lineup to anywhere between an octet to a quartet onstage (varying by city and date).
Musical couple Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi tour this summer as Tedeschi Trucks, as opposed to Tedeschi Trucks Band, in solidarity with bandmates unable to make it out to play. The Fireside Live tour should evoke the mood of a nice night beside the campfire as slide guitar and soothing, high-register blues melodies drift into the dark warmth of the summer’s night like embers flittering from the crack of a dry log.
Find tickets for the June 19 and 20 Tedeschi Trucks shows at tedeschitrucksband.com and at ticketmaster.com. Ticket prices start at $40 for general admission. The shows start at 7:30 p.m., both nights. Hop Springs is located at 6790 John Bragg Hwy., Murfreesboro.
