THE BLACK CROWES and TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND have announced a co-headlining tour, with special guests The London Souls, running July 19 in Nashville, TN through August 15 in Rochester Hills, MI. Tickets go on sale Friday, April 12 at 10:00AM local (except for Nashville, which goes on sale Friday, April 26).

THE BLACK CROWES have sold over 35 million albums and are known as one of rock’s best live acts. They’re currently touring the U.S. on their “Lay Down With Number 13” tour, their first tour since recently ending a two-year hiatus. The in-progress tour launched with five sold-out U.K. shows and began this week in the U.S. and continues through June 2. After that, the group will return to Europe for a leg of dates June 18 to July 6, including headlining shows, festivals and two stadium concerts with Bruce Springsteen.  The iconic and influential band–Chris Robinson (lead vocals, guitar), Rich Robinson (guitar, vocals), Steve Gorman (drums), Sven Pipien (bass), Adam MacDougall (keyboards) and new member Jackie Greene (guitar, vocals)–are reaching deep inside their songbook and extensive catalog, performing greatly varied set lists.

The band recently released WISER FOR THE TIME, which features a mammoth eight sides on four vinyl albums containing 26 songs–15 acoustic and 11 electric–from THE BLACK CROWES’ five-night, sold-out NYC performances in the fall of 2010.   These never-released-before versions are also available as a double album digital download.  The WISER FOR THE TIME track listing can be found on www.blackcrowes.com

TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND, the 11-piece ensemble led by husband-wife team Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi, have proven themselves one of the most uplifting acts on the road today.  Formed in 2010, TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND delivers a hearty roots-rich musical mix fronted by Trucks‘ signature slide guitar sound and Tedeschi’s pliant, honey-to-husk voice. The band kicked off 2013 in the studio where they recorded their second studio album before hitting the road again. They recently wrapped up five shows in Australia and are back on tour in the U.S. this spring before launching the summer tour.

TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND’S debut album, Revelator–praised as a “4-star masterpiece” by Rolling Stone–won a Grammy for Best Blues Album in 2012 while Trucks himself was also honored with a lifetime Grammy for his longstanding membership in the Allman Brothers Band. With the band firing on all cylinders, they released their first live album in May of 2012–Everybody’s Talkin–a double CD set of originals and vibrant covers that showcases the band’s dynamic energy on stage. On the heels of the album’s release they toured the U.S. and Canada including a run of dates with B.B. King and a headlining spot at Newport Jazz Festival. The band’s new album is slated for release summer of 2013.
