ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - EntSun -- St. Petersburg continues as a top entertainment destination for residents and visitors who love live music thanks in part to the 2019 Al Lang Live Concert Series.

The Wheels of Soul tour kicks off June 29th in the Grammy-winning group's hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, the 5th annual amphitheater run welcomes special guests Blackberry Smoke and Shovels & Rope. The five-week slate of 24 shows includes another two-night stand at Colorado's Red Rocks, following 8 straight sell-out performances at the renowned venue, and concludes with two nights at the famed Fox Theatre on August 2nd and 3rd in Atlanta.

About Tedeschi Trucks Band

Unrivaled in their blend of American soul, blues, rock and country, the 12-member Tedeschi  Trucks Band is led by the husband and wife team of guitarist Derek Trucks and vocalist/guitarist Susan Tedeschi who have curated and cultivated this family -friendly  experience into a highlight of the summer concert season.

Each year, the band selects kindred artists to join their rolling caravan, turning each night into a unique collaborative event rather than simply a three-band bill. Attracting larger audiences each successive year and expanding to new markets, critics hail the Wheels of Soul tour as "nothing short of spectacular," (Saratogian), celebrating the "life-affirming power of music played with passion, skill and artistry," (St.  Louis Post Dispatch).

"The motivation and the fun of Wheels of Soul is that we get to bring that spirit of musical camaraderie to a summer crowd," says Trucks. "Traveling, being outside, playing music with friends new and old - we love the limitless energy of this tour."

The 2018's Wheels of Soul tour featured unparalleled musicianship, plenty of on-stage sit-ins with guests Drive-By Truckers and The Marcus King Band, and broke TTB's own attendance records.  The group's ever-changing set lists highlighted their evolving repertoire of 75+ songs, including new originals such as "High and Mighty," and surprising debuts like Ray Charles' "Night Time Is the Right  Time," Al Green's "Yield Not To Temptation," and Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World." Fans can expect more unforgettable moments as Tedeschi Trucks Band is joined next summer by Blackberry Smoke and Shovels & Rope.

Celebrating in 2019 its 10th year as a group, Tedeschi Trucks Band carries a distinguished reputation earned from both audiences and critics as one of the premier live bands in the world. Led by "two of the best roots rock musicians of their generation" (NPR), TTB is recognized for their supreme musicianship and genre-defying ability to explore almost any musical territory.  Beyond the road, the band is preparing the launch of a fourth studio album, which follows their recent Grammy-nominated live album/film release, Live from the Fox Oakland (2017), and their last studio release, Let Me Get By (2016).  The soon to be announced new album is set for an early 2019 release.
