Susan Tedeschi may have been born and raised in Boston, but she’s forged a deep and lasting connection to Southern culture. She grew up on blues, gospel, and soul music before eventually embarking on a career that brought all those influences together, making her one of the most exciting voices in modern rock and roll. She’s also spent more than 25 years in Jacksonville, Florida, where she and her husband and musical partner, Derek Trucks, have raised a family and built something truly special together. As the Tedeschi Trucks Band, they’ve united Susan’s talents as a singer, songwriter, and musician with Derek’s supernatural abilities on slide guitar. Now, they have a new record out called Future Soul, one of their best to date. Sid and Susan talk about the album, the family dynamic that’s kept their band together for 16 years, and a particularly fun gig they have on the horizon. On Saturday, May 2, Susan and Derek will perform the “Star Spangled Banner” at the 152nd running of the Kentucky Derby.
