Slide guitar wiz Derek Trucks and guitarist/singer Susan Tedeschi, who live in Jacksonville, expected to be touring with their 12-piece Tedeschi Trucks Band this summer, but put that on hold for a second straight summer. Instead, they’ll go out on a Fireside Sessions tour, playing limited-capacity shows with different configurations of the band. Fans might get a duo, or a quartet or a six-piece band at any given concert. The Jacksonville shows open the summer tour and will be the first Tedeschi and Trucks have played in more than a year. The full band will open its 2022 summer tour at Daily’s Place next June.
The Gamble Rogers Music Festival Board of Directors has decided to cancel its upcoming live spring 2021 event due to ongoing concerns around the COVID-19 pandemic.
The music series, originally scheduled for April 30 through May 2, was to take place at the Colonial Oak Music Park in downtown St. Augustine.
The annual festival honors the late James Gamble Rogers III (Jan. 31, 1937-Oct. 10, 1991), a famed folk musician and storyteller. His musician friends came together more than 25 years ago to celebrate his legacy with a festival held in St. Augustine, featuring national, regional, and local musicians and storytellers on several stages.
The 25th anniversary event was canceled in 2020 and, at the request of Gamble s family, the 2021 event is now also being put off due to continued health risks.
