On Saturday night, Tedeschi Trucks Band returned to Chicago, IL’s Chicago Theatre for the second performance of their two-night weekend run. Next weekend, the band will return to the Chicago Theatre for two more nights (1/25-1/26) as part of their ongoing multi-night runs.

Tedeschi Trucks Band is gearing up to release a brand new album on February 15th, SIGNS, marking their fourth studio album and first release since 2016’s Let Me Get By. The recently-released “Hard Case” was incorporated into the first set, amidst other TTB originals, “Don’t Let Me Slide”, “Laugh About It”, “It’s So Heavy”, and Made Up Mind“”, and well as a cover of Derek Trucks Band’s “Days Is Almost Gone”, and more.

This tour marks the first without bassist Tim Lefebvre, following his Christmas Eve announcement that he’d be leaving the group and replaced by Brandon Boone for the January and February dates. Forever keyboardist Kofi Burbridge is also absent from this tour, as he takes time away from the band as a result of a recent follow-up procedure to a 2017 surgery, with Gabe Dixon coming on to fill the role until his return.

Following a brief set break, Tedeschi Trucks Band opened up their second set with a cover of George Jones’ “Color Of The Blues”, before working through TTB originals, “Anyhow”, “Part Of Me”, “Shame”, “Midnight In Harlem”, and “Bound For Glory. Next, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, and their impeccable ensemble worked through covers of Sleepy John Estes’ “Leaving Trunk”, Rahsaan Roland Kirk’s “Volunteered Slavery”, and Johnny Moore’s Three Blazers’ “How Blue Can You Get”, before bringing the first set to a close with “I Want More”. A cover of Joe Cocker’s “Space Captain” served as Saturday night’s encore.

In addition to their upcoming tour dates–including multi-night runs at the Chicago Theatre, Saenger Theatre, Ryman Auditorium, Warner Theatre, and more– Tedeschi Trucks Band will celebrate the official release of SIGNS with a show at Brooklyn Academy of Music in Brooklyn, New York on Wednesday, February 20th. Tickets for the album release show at Brooklyn Academy of Music are on sale now. Every pair of tickets purchased for this show will come with a digital download of the new album.
