Watch Tedeschi Trucks Band’s Touching Tribute To David Bowie

Tedeschi Trucks Band kept them grooving in Florida for their very own Sunshine Music and Blues Festival, held in St. Petersburg for night one and Boca Raton for night two. The band wasted no time showing off their patented brand of blues-steeped rock and soul, captivating the audience in a way only Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi know how.

One of the more raw moments of the first night came in the form of the song “It Ain’t Easy.” Featured on Bowie’s classic 1972 album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars, the side one rocker was actually never performed live by David Bowie. The moment was especially tender for bassist Tim Lefebvre, who provided his bass work for the entirety of Bowie’s recently-released album Blackstar. Lefebvre had some really considerate thoughts about Bowie that were shared in a recent Rolling Stone article.

Thanks to YouTube user CortezFisherman, we have some fan-shot video of the Bowie tribute. Watch below:

Tedeschi Trucks Band has a busy 2016 ahead, especially with the release of a brand new album, Let Me Get By, due out on the 29th of January. Check out the title track here.
