Sue McLean and Associates present the
Tedeschi Trucks Band
at the Fitzgerald Theater on Wednesday, June 19th at 7:30 p.m.
Tedeschi Trucks Band, the 11-piece ensemble led by husband-wife team Derek Trucks
and Susan Tedeschi, have proven themselves one of the hottest, most uplifting acts on the
road today. Formed in 2010 when Derek and Susan decided to set aside their successful
solo careers and join forces, Tedeschi Trucks Band has since been touring the globe - and
accruing fans and accolades in the process. Fronted by Trucks' signature slide-guitar
sound and Tedeschi's pliant, honey-to-husk voice, TTB -- as their fans know them --
delivers a hearty roots-rich musical mix with the power to renew faith in live music. The
band is currently touring in advance of the release of their second studio album, slated for
release in late summer. Their debut album,
Revelator, was praised as a 4-star masterpiece
by
Rolling Stone and won a GRAMMY for
Best Blues Album of the Year.
Tickets are available fo $75.00 and $59.00. A $2.50 facility fee will be added to the price of each ticket.

89.3 The Current presents
Dessa
at the Fitzgerald Theater on Saturday, June 22nd at 8:00p.m. This special show will celebrate the record release of
Parts of Speech Dessa's eagerly anticipated follow up to
A Badly Broken Code and
Castor, the Twin. Doomtree Records will release the album on June 25th; Dessa will perform two release shows to present the new material. The
Current Sessions at the Fitz series will be the first of these two (different second show at First Avenue on June 29th). On June 22nd, she'll stage a dramatic show at the Fitzgerald
Theater, where fans will have the chance to pick up a copy of the new record before it becomes available in stores. She'll be joined by her touring ensemble (
Dustin Kiel,
Sean McPherson, Joey Van Phillips, Aby Wolf) and some special guests including cellists
Becca Arons (MN Opera) and
Nick Takénobu Ogawa
(Atlanta).
Dessa is an inveterate wordsmith—having proved her mettle in the fields of creative non-fiction, spoken-word and hip-hop—and she jettisons all genre expectations with her new album,
Parts of Speech.
Dessa's performance at the Fitzgerald will take advantage of the venue's elegance, ambiance and theatrical resources to put on a show that crosses genres and disciplines. Dessa has honed an
ability to move her audiences very swiftly from laughter to a solemn hush; her June 22nd show to unveil Parts of Speech will showcase her dynamic range and unveil her best work to date.
Dessa will be available for photos, signings and fan interaction in the Fitz lobby post-show.
This event is SOLD OUT.
The Current Sessions at the Fitz with Dessa is supported, in part, by the Legacy Amendment for Arts and Cultural Heritage.

Jake Shimabukuro at the Fitzgerald Theater on
Saturday, November 9th at 8:00 p.m. In his young career, ukulele wizard Jake Shimabukuro has already redefined
a heretofore under-the-radar instrument, been declared a musical “hero” by Rolling Stone, won accolades from the
disparate likes of Eddie Vedder, Perez Hilton and Dr. Sanjay Gupta, wowed audiences on TV (Jimmy Kimmel, Conan),
earned comparisons to Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis, and even played in front of the Queen of England. With his
new record
Grand Ukulele, Shimabukuro’s star may burn even brighter. An ambitious follow-up to 2011’s
Peace, Love, Ukulele (which debuted at #1 on the Billboard World Charts), the Hawaiian musician’s new
record finds him collaborating with legendary producer engineer Alan Parsons, best known for his work on Pink
Floyd’s
Dark Side of the Moon, The Beatles’
Abbey Road and his own highly successful solo
project. This fall Jake will embark on a 30-plus city solo tour.

Facility Fee will be added to each ticket.
