At the Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center (CMAC<\/a>) on Tuesday, July 11th, a packed house and lawn were ready for rising performances from members of musical royalty. The Tedeschi Trucks<\/a> Band, and opener Ziggy Marley,<\/a> showcased their talents full force and took everyone \u2018higher.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning with a slow-burning version of Joe Cocker\u2019s \u201cWoman to Woman,\u201d Derek Trucks led the Tedeschi Trucks Band into a set that would be full of fire. Captivating and lulling the audience into building the foundation for Susan Tedeschi’s stunning vocals, the 12-piece band featuring Derek Trucks (guitar), Mike Mattison (guitar, vocals), Gabe Dixon (keys, vocals), Brandon Boone (bass), Tyler Greenwell (drums, percussion), Isaac Eady (drums, percussion), Mark Rivers (vocals), Alecia Chakour (vocals), Kebbi Williams (saxophone), Ephraim Owens (trumpet), and Elizabeth Lea (trombone), was in top form throughout the two-hour-long set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone had shining moments of musical brilliance. Tedeschi led the way with her powerful vocal range and soulful expression. She possesses the rare ability to infuse each lyric with an incredible amount of emotion and soul, whether she\u2019s belting mid-set tunes like \u201cYes We Will\u201d or floating her voice like a feather across the crowd during quieter numbers, as she did on a cover of Bob Dylan\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Think Twice, It\u2019s All Right.\u201d Tedeschi also reminded everyone how great of a guitar player she is while bending a vibrant tapestry of tunes on her Les Paul and 1970 Fender Stratocaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Derek Trucks\u2019 masterful guitar playing was on full display, each note and riff ringing out with precision and passion. Trucks expertly weaved his Gibson SG Standard through every nook and cranny of the set, culminating in a blazing, epic execution of Jeff Beck\u2019s \u201cBeck\u2019s Bolero\u201d to close out the set. Trucks sang through his fingers, and that voice let everyone at CMAC know they were hearing one of the greatest guitarists alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watching them play together was a treat for the senses; it was clear that they were having a lot of fun and enjoying every moment of their time on stage together. Their chemistry was undeniable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the ensemble took turns throughout the night being bright shining stars of sonic and aural mastery. Mike Mattison and Alecia Chakour delivered awe-inspiring performances on vocals. Mattison sang a fervent lead on several songs throughout the night, with a main highlight being a cover of Dr. John\u2019s \u201cWalk On Guilded Splinters.\u201d Chakour had audience members cheering her every solo as she hit them with bombastic vocals all night. Gabe Dixon sang beautifully in the lead on \u201cGravity\u201d and \u201cI am the Moon\u201d while keeping the groove on keys, and the brass section filled out the sound in a fun, funky way. Saxophonist Kebbi Williams had a dozen electrifying solos that made the audience dance and wheel in their seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the setlist was exhilarating and rousing and adeptly incorporated a mosaic of rock, blues, and soul. The thrilling night closed with an encore that featured Ziggy Marley and his band, creating a powerful collaboration for a fusion of Sly & the Family Stone classics, “Sing a Simple Song,” right into “I Want to Take You Higher.\u201d The crowd felt that high and would\u2019ve happily stayed for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be together
With a roof right over our heads\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
