The reason Tedeschi Trucks is coming up again is due to the tremendous talent down to each member of this band and the fact the Durham Cool team loves this band! One could confidently say this about several other seasoned live bands who tour routinely and regularly yet this band, fronted by two outstanding superstar leaders, is something else!
