Tedeschi Trucks Band Live Debuts New Song, Confirms Chicago & NYC Residencies Through 2022 [Video/Full Audio/Photo]

On Wednesday night, Tedeschi Trucks Band returned to New York City’s Beacon Theatre, offering up the fourth show in their ongoing six-night residency. The band led by the husband-and-wife duo of Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks pulled out all the stops for the midweek crowd. One of the major highlights of the evening included the debut of “Still Your Mind”, a gorgeous and dramatic rock-infused ballad featuring Susan Tedeschi front and center sans guitar and a soaring, shred-heavy guitar solo from Derek Trucks. You can check out a video of the newly debuted “Still Your Mind” and hear the entire show’s audio below.

Tedeschi Trucks Band’s ongoing New York City residency has become an annual tradition, and the frequently guest-laden run has become a major landmark in the group’s yearly calendar. Yesterday, Billboard confirmed that fans can expect many more residencies in the group’s future, with the announcement of a dual-city deal with Madison Square Garden Company that will run through at least 2022. For this newly announced residency deal, Tedeschi Trucks Band has signed on to perform six shows each October at New York’s Beacon Theatre and at least three shows each January in Chicago at the Chicago Theatre. With six shows at the Beacon scheduled each year from now until 2022, by the time the this new deal is completed, the group will have performed at the fan-favorite venue almost 60 times (the group celebrated their 30th play at the Beacon Theatre earlier this week).

As Trucks told Billboard, echoing Trey Anastasio‘s comments ahead of last year’s historic Phish residency at Madison Square Garden,

It’s nice to settle into a venue for a few nights, although we know there’s a portion of the audience that comes out for multiple shows, so we have to dig deep into the catalog. … Musically it’s so much more rewarding to set up for multiple dates at a place where you can get comfortable with the sound of the room and when you’re not playing, relax a little bit and actually experience where ever you are at the moment.

Trucks also spoke a little about the choice to bring a residency to Chicago. He joked, “The Chicago natives appreciate a band showing up in January, it shows a certain hardiness,” later adding, “I’ve been in the same rooms for 20 years now. When my son was only 10 days old, he was at the Beacon Theater, and it very much feels like a home away from home with a lot of the crew and the union guys here at the Beacon for the whole run. … It’s always nice to walk back in the door and see the familiar faces and hit that stage where so much magic has been made.”

This new dual-city residency begins in 2019, kicking off with a four-night run at the Chicago Theatre on January 18th, 19th, 25th, and 26th. Notably, Trucks also added during his interview that the band would be working on new material for the residency to stay fresh; however, this is also unsurprising given that a new album from Tedeschi Trucks Band is due out soon, and the band has been open about road-testing new songs like “Shame” in preparation for the new album’s release.
