Tedeschi Trucks Band have added another date to their upcoming Wheels Of Soul Tour with Drive-By Truckers and The Marcus King Band. The decidedly Southern lineup will now swing through Atlanta on July 14th for a concert at the historic Fox Theatre.
As previously reported, this year’s Wheels Of Soul Tour will kick off at the Daily’s Place Amphitheater in Jacksonville, FL on June 29th. The outing will last exactly one month and feature stops in much of the Southeast, East Coast and Midwest before wrapping up with a two-night stand at Colorado’s Red Rocks Ampitheatre on July 28th and 29th.
2018 will mark the fourth edition of the Wheels Of Soul Tour, which typically finds TTB teaming up with a variety blues and soul-oriented acts. Past editions have included Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Hot Tuna, The Wood Brothers, North Mississippi Allstars, and Los Lobos.
“We all draw from some of the same roots,” Derek Trucks said in a statement. “But we also share a different perspective than your typical southern rock bands do. I have a lot of respect and admiration for the Truckers’ songwriting. It’s an honest take on the world we live in.”
“It’s been fun getting to know Marcus and watching him develop,” Trucks added. “He sat in with us at the Beacon and it will be great to have a chance to collaborate more on stage over the summer”
“It’s going to be something different for us, for sure.,” King told Live For Live Music earlier this year “We’re definitely going to try and translate our intimate vibe into those larger venues and shows. It’s going to be a challenge but it’s one we’re all very open to and super excited about.”
Tickets for the newly-announced Atlanta show will go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 27th. Pre-sale tickets are available now.
