When a friend suggested I listen to Tedeschi Trucks Band, I immediately fell in love. When I found out that one of the singers, Derek Trucks, was a former \u00a0member of The Allman Brothers Band (when he was only 20!) and is the nephew of Butch Trucks, I fell even more in love with the band.<\/p>\n<p>I could tell you everything else that\u2019s amazing about him, but it would take up this entire page. Susan, the other vocalist (and Derek&#8217;s wife), has an unbelievable, unique voice; I\u2019ve never heard another vocalist like her. I had the opportunity to see them live, and it was one of the best live performances I have ever seen. Watching Derek play slide guitar was absolutely incredible. Susan and Derek\u2019s onstage chemistry is out of this world, and their band \u00a0brings their A-game every time. Listening to their album doesn\u2019t do them justice, but do yourself a favor and check them out. You won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<address><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theswitch.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/homeland.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2518\" alt=\"homeland-season-4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theswitch.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/homeland-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/switch.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/homeland-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/switch.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/homeland.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>Kat Newbold<\/address>\n<h3>HR Coordinator<\/h3>\n<p>Right now I am watching Season four of <em>Homeland<\/em>.
