Since the mid-’90s, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks have both had successful music careers, she as an acclaimed singer/songwriter and he as an electrifying guitar player with his group and the Allman Brothers Band, among others. The two met on tour in 1999, married a couple of years later and had two children, but their hectic solo schedules often kept them apart. To rectify the situation, they formed the Tedeschi Trucks Band, an 11-member ensemble that recently released debut album Revelator (Sony Masterworks), which was recorded at the duo’s home studio. Knowing how much they like to do things together, we asked Tedeschi and Trucks to guest edit magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new Q&A with them.
Susan: Japan is one of our favorite places in the world, and Red Shoes is our favorite bar in Tokyo. Derek spent a lot of time there when he played multiple nights in Tokyo with Eric Clapton, and now it’s a regular stop for us when we go over. It has a long history of hosting musicians, and it’s just got a great vibe. Everyone who works there is warm, and it’s nice to have a friendly place to go when you’re far from home.
