Derek Trucks Does Photo Shoot in Downtown Jacksonville

January 18, 2011

Jacksonville native Derek Trucks, of Derek Trucks Band, was back in town today doing a photo shoot for an upcoming CD release at the historic Marble Bank Building in Downtown.

The Derek Trucks Band performed with the Susan Tedeschi Band for their new joint record album's photo shoot. The location was perfect in the vacant downtown building, a part of the Laura Street Trio. They continued their album coverage at the Equestrian Center later in the afternoon. The husband and wife team has paired up in Jacksonville before, performing at the Florida Theatre on New Year's Eve for the past couple of years.

Trucks was among Rolling Stone's 2003 list of 'The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,' the youngest musician to be included at age 24. In addition to being the bandleader of Derek Trucks Band, he is also part of The Allman Brothers Band.
