We have been blessed with some fantastic musicians who have come from Jacksonville. Everybody from James Weldon Johnson and Ray Charles through Lynard Skynard. Continuing our on going musical fertile grounds are these two. One our own Guitar God and the other a little woman with a HUGE voice and heart. They do not usually perform together even though they are husband and wife, but when they do the chemistry is fantastic.
It's early, but this will sell out soon. This is from the Florida Theater web site.

RING IN THE NEW YEAR WITH DEREK TRUCKS & SUSAN TEDESCHI AT THE FLORIDA THEATRE! SAY HELLO TO 2011 WITH A NIGHT OF GREAT MUSIC, INCREDIBLE PEOPLE, A FEW SURPRISES AND AN UNFORGETTABLE CELEBRATION!
Unquestionably Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi are the most formidable husband/wife team in the history of southern rock and blues music. Trucks' slide guitar playing is second to none. He has led his own band for over 15 years, has toured with both the Allman Brothers Band and Eric Clapton, and was featured on the cover of the 2007 Rolling Stone "New Guitar Gods" issue. Tedeschi's powerful singing voice and fearless stage presence have made her one of the most stirring soul and blues musicians of our time. Add her knack for musical truth telling and her commanding guitar playing, and you have an artist who is quickly taking her place as the new generation's greatest female blues guitar/singer and, perhaps, one of the best ever.
Saw Derek Trucks at Mojos not too long ago.
The dude can play guitar!
