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.

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.

Tickets are available for $45.00 & $40.00. A $2.50 Facility Fee will be added to each ticket.
