Tedeschi Trucks Band, the 12-member soul outfit led by Southern rock power couple Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, announced the 2020 return of their sixth-annual Wheels Of Soul tour. The tour will once again see the band hit amphitheaters across the country with two other groups that TTB believes exemplify the best in the modern soul movement. This coming summer the band will tour with St. Paul and The Broken Bones and Gabe Dixon, who will be working a double shift as he opens the show with his trio, then comes back out to play keyboards as a regular touring member of TTB. Over the past five summers, the Wheels Of Soul tour has seen TTB play alongside such acts as The Wood Brothers, Los Lobos, The Marcus King Band and many more, often resulting in surprise sit-ins and unexpected covers.
The five-week tour will kick off June 26th in TTB’s hometown of Jacksonville, FL before the band makes their way around the entire country, with a tour-closing two-night run at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO July 31st and August 1st. A press release from the band notes, however, that there are additional dates to be announced, which could mean the band has some festival appearances that are yet to be revealed.
“We’ve talked about having St. Paul and The Broken Bones out with us before,” Derek Trucks said. “Their sound is fantastic and certainly a natural fit for Wheels of Soul. And we enjoy the fun of touring and collaborating with another big band. Adding Gabe to the bill was a no brainer. He’s insanely talented and it will be a privilege to be able to showcase what he can do.”
Tickets for the majority of the shows will go on sale on December 13th and will be available to purchase here. You can read a full list of dates for the summer 2020 return of the Tedeschi Trucks Band Wheels Of Soul tour below.
