On July 29th and 30th, Tedeschi Trucks Band will take to Colorado for a two-night stand at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre as part of their Wheels of Soul tour. Their late-July appearance marks the third time in a row that Tedeschi Trucks Band will headline the epic venue nestled in the foothills of Morrison, Colorado, more if you consider their non-sequential Red Rocks appearances. Predictably, fans have been eagerly awaiting more information about who will join the group for their Red Rocks performance, as the group is known for making their Red Rocks shows special with the legendary collaborations that go down each year.

Today, the band announced the special guests with whom they’ll share the stage—keyboard wizard John Medeski of Medeski, Martin & Wood will join TTB on July 29th, and John Bell of Widespread Panic will serve as the special guest on July 30th. Across both nights, The Wood Brothers (featuring Medeski’s bandmate in Medeski, Martin & Wood, bassist Chris Wood) and Hot Tuna will warm up the crowd.
Tickets for Tedeschi Trucks Band’s return to Red Rocks are available for purchase here, and are likely to sell out so get them while you can. For those not able to catch TTB when they roll through Colorado, you can head over to the band’s website, where you can take a peek at their extensive summer touring schedule that spans from the end of May through to the beginning of September.
You can also watch TTB’s “Sly Stone” medley of “Sing A Simple Song” and “I Want To Take You Higher” from the group’s Red Rocks performance on June 13th, 2015. The video, courtesy of TTBFromTheRoad, shows the group share the stage with late and great Sharon Jones, members of the Dap-Kings (Binky Griptite, Cochemea Gastelum, Chris Davis, Mike Buckley, Saundra Williams and Starr Duncan), and Doyle Bramhall II.
