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.
Derek: This band enjoys a good bottle of wine, maybe more than one on occasion … One of our favorite wineries is a California-based vineyard called Anthill Farms Winery. They specialize in pinot noir, and they do it right. We’ve gotten to know the guys who run it, and they are very good, down-to-earth people with real passion for making wine. When you’re passionate about what you do and you genuinely care about your craft, people will respond to that, whether it’s music, grapes, duck or silverwork.
