Since
his first paying gig at the age of eleven, Derek Trucks has been slowly
blending jazz, rock, blues, Latin, Eastern Indian, and other world music
styles into the sound that now defines The Derek Trucks Band. In the
last five years, Derek has assembled a group of musicians who share
his passion for improvisation and experimentation while having the experience
and talent to continually push the envelope. The DTB takes a progressive
approach to roots music, blending elements of different cultures and
styles into a new sound that remains unique.
"Derek Trucks is a wizard. His
band hypnotized, then knocked over, then lifted again and again. It's
so rare to experience music with such precision and elegance that simultaneously
breathes such raw power and soul. Doesn't even seem possible, but here
he comes."
