Seeing live music can be a transcendent mind-body experience, akin to getting a tattoo underwater or making out during an eclipse. Transcend boredom with today's Groupon: for $17, you get a ticket to see the Tedeschi Trucks Band at Johnny Mercer Theatre on Tuesday, June 14, at 7:30 p.m. (a $35 value).
Grammy-winning slide-guitarist Derek Trucks and Grammy-nominated singer/guitarist Susan Tedeschi bring their music-filled marriage to the stage with the help of a handpicked 11-member band steeped in Delta blues and drenched in Memphis soul. Trucks and Tedeschi met while playing with the Allman Brothers Band and bring years of independent performance and songwriting experience to their new collaboration. Opening for them will be the legendary John Hammond, inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2011 despite the controversy over his sustain pedal's steroid habit. Tickets are in the highlighted section and are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
