Music, like many things can be a so-called “man’s world,” but there are many women who are defying that idea. And Susan Tedeschi is just one of them.
The Boston singer, songwriter and excellent guitar player has music coursing through her veins in the form of blues, rock and blue eyed soul. Graduating with a degree in musical composition from the renowned Berklee School of Music, it was during her years at the school that she started to dabble in the blues world, combining her classically trained musical skills and the new improvisational genre to find a niche that is now what Tedeschi is known for today.
Releasing 10 albums including 2013’s ‘Made Up Mind,’ she has been touring around with her band as well as the one she has with her husband Derek Trucks called the Tedeschi Trucks Band for years now.
My first introduction to Tedeschi’s expertise was when she did a guest spot in Soulive’s residency at the Brooklyn Bowl in New York City. With the local soul band joining forces with hers, she casually took the mic, plugged in her electric guitar and magic just happened. With her Janis Joplin-like vocals and Bonnie Rait-esque guitar playing, she quickly entranced everyone in the room, who instantly started dancing. But no matter how much the crowd cheered and hollered, Tedeschi never lost her cool and would calmly thank everyone for coming out -- something that juxtaposed the beast that would wail on the guitar and mic.
