Tedeschi Trucks Band – July 24th

All you really need to know about the Tedeschi Trucks Band is that it’s one of the best blues bands in the country. Fronted by the husband-wife duo of Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, the band combines some the classic sounds of the blues infused with the sultry voice of Tedeschi and the face-melting slide guitar of Trucks. If you’re a fan of the genre, love soulful solos, or just want to see what this band’s all about, check them out at the Charlotte Metro Credit Union Amphitheater. Tickets start at $57.

Darius Rucker – August 27th

As the first African-American to win “Best New Artist” from the Country Music Association, Rucker’s a sight to behold. Hear him this summer at the PNC Music Pavilion for only $29.
