Susan Tedeschi
NewMusicForOldFolks says …
Anyone that doubts whether Susan Tedeschi can rock need only push play on the first track of her album Just Won't Burn. She hits the ground running on "Rock Me Right" and the entire album jumps out of the speakers with the sound of Tedeschi's voice. Susan and husband Derek Trucks have combined their efforts into the Tedeschi Trucks Band. And as good a guitar player as Derek is, it's Susan's singing that steals the show.

Bio (From Wikipedia.com)
Tedeschi formed the Susan Tedeschi Band in 1993 featuring Tom Hambridge and Adrienne Hayes. She learned how to play blues guitar in Boston from musician Tim Gearan in 1995. It was then she really began to hone her skills on the instrument. In December the band released Better Days to regional audiences. Record contracts were difficult to keep together; however, recording sessions from 1997 were acquired by Richard Rosenblatt and the band was signed to indy label Tone-Cool Records. Just Won't Burn, featuring young guitarist Sean Costello, was released in February 1998 to very positive reviews, particularly from blues critics and publications. Susan was the first artist to play Michele Clark 's very first Sunset Sessions in March 1998 at the Marriott in the US Virgin Islands. In 1999, Tedeschi played several dates in the all-woman traveling festival Lilith Fair organized by Sarah McLachlan. Throughout 1998 and 1999 she toured extensively throughout the United States and drew larger crowds. (more)
