Tedeschi Trucks Band in Denver

About Tedeschi Trucks Band

Tedeschi Trucks Band is built around the married couple of Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, two of the most legitimately skilled guitarists working in American music. They formed the band in 2010 as a full collective—think two drummers, a horn section, backup singers—turning what could've been a side project into something that actually breathes like a real band. Tedeschi's voice carries genuine blues grit; Trucks is that rare player who learned his craft as a session musician and kept that discipline. They lean hard into soul and blues without making it feel like archaeology. Their records are consistent without being predictable, and they've built a loyal following by touring relentlessly and never phoning it in. They're the kind of band where the technical skill serves the songs instead of the other way around.

Long sets that actually justify their length. The two guitarists trade leads without ego, and the full band gives everything space to breathe. Crowds get genuinely quiet during the slow moments—people actually listen instead of waiting for the peak. Trucks especially has this way of making a guitar sound like it's thinking.

Known for Midnight Rider, Laugh, Jamba, Everybody's Got to Go, Who Do You Love

Tedeschi Trucks Band + Denver

Tedeschi Trucks Band brought their expansive sound to Red Rocks in August, playing a setlist that ranged from the soulful depths of 'I Walk on Guilded Splinters' to the country-blues storytelling of 'Tangled Up in Blue.' The 21-song set felt like watching a band at complete ease, moving through their catalog with the kind of fluidity that only comes from years of touring together. Closing with 'With a Little Help From My Friends' felt right—this is a group that's always been about the collective, the community of musicians on stage and the audience in front of them.

Denver road trip to see Tedeschi Trucks Band?

Stay in Highland, where tree-lined streets and independent bookstores make it feel like you're actually in Denver rather than passing through. Eat at Frasca Food and Wine if you want to understand why Colorado takes its ingredients seriously—it's fine dining without pretense. Before the show, spend an afternoon at the Denver Art Museum's contemporary wing, which often has installations that match the visual language of experimental music. Walk around Santa Fe Drive's gallery district. It's the kind of neighborhood where the art and music scenes actually talk to each other.
