Tedeschi Trucks Band have announced ‘The Garden Party’, a concert film documenting their sold-out Madison Square Garden debut on September 29, 2023. Directed by Grammy-nominated filmmaker John McDermott and co-produced by BAFTA Award-winner George Scott alongside Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi, the film captures a two-and-a-half-hour performance featuring special guests Trey Anastasio, Norah Jones, and Lukas Nelson, woven together with commentary from the duo. “Going from Manny’s Car Wash to Madison Square Garden has been pretty surreal,” says Trucks.
The film premieres at Brooklyn Bowl in New York on Sunday, March 22, with full concert sound, family-friendly entry at $10 for adults and free for kids under 16, and all ticket proceeds going to HeadCount. The premiere falls mid-way through TTB’s ten-night run at the Beacon Theatre from March 10 to 28. A theatrical release follows later this spring, with an additional screening event at the Regent Theater in Arlington, MA on May 1, and more cities to follow.
The announcement arrives two days after the release of ‘Future Soul’ on March 20 via Fantasy Records, TTB’s sixth studio album and their most wide-ranging to date. Produced by Mike Elizondo (Twenty One Pilots, Eminem, Carrie Underwood) and co-produced by Trucks, the 11-track collection pulls from funk, rock, blues, soul, and punk, with singles “I Got You” and “Who Am I” already out now.
Between the new album, the Beacon Theatre residency, the film premiere, and a theatrical rollout on the way, Tedeschi Trucks Band are deep into one of the most active and rewarding stretches of their career.
