Tedeschi Trucks Band has announced a handful of notable special guests for its upcoming shows at Boston, MA’s TD Garden (9/27) and New York, NY’s Madison Square Garden (9/29), collectively billed as The Garden Parties. In addition to previously announced opening sets by Lukas Nelson + POTR at both shows, the Boston performance will feature special guest Warren Haynes, while the MSG show will feature appearances by Trey Anastasio and Norah Jones.
As Derek Trucks noted in a statement about the shows, “We’re excited and honored to throw these Garden Parties with our good friends. Both venues are hallowed ground, so collaborating with great artists that we have a shared history with makes it that much sweeter. It’s going to be a blast!”
Each of the three newly announced guests has plenty of experience collaborating with Tedeschi Trucks Band and its individual members. Haynes spent years trading lead guitar lines with Trucks as members of The Allman Brothers Band and has frequently sat in with TTB over the years. Norah Jones has also logged time as a guest at TTB’s famed Beacon Theatre residencies, joining the band in 2017 for a rendition of “Love Has No Pride”.
Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio has built a long and storied history of collaboration with Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, and company spanning several decades. In addition to notching a memorable TTBeacon sit-in of his own in 2017, Trey and Derek anchored the 2019 LOCKN’ Festival lineup with reciprocal full-set sit-ins, with Derek (and Susan) joining in on Trey Anastasio Band‘s set one night and Trey (and Doyle Bramhall II) adding to Tedeschi Trucks Band’s full recreation of Derek and the Dominos‘ Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs the next. Derek Trucks has also sat in with Phish on numerous occasions, most recently during the band’s Vermont flood recovery benefit run at Saratoga Performing Arts Center last month.
