Listen To The Derek Trucks Band’s First Ever Halloween Show From 1994

116

Derek Trucks started performing live at the age of 11 years old. After exploring different musicians he met between tours and studio sessions, Trucks founded The Derek Trucks Band in 1994 at the age of sixteen. Bassist and vocalist Todd Smallie was the first to officially join the band, with drummer Yonrico Scott, keyboardist Kofi Burbridge, vocalist Mike Mattison, and percussionist Count M’Butu eventually following to form the core band.

A 16-year-old Derek celebrated Halloween unlike most teenagers in the early 1990’s, by performing a live concert at Lake Boone Country Club in Raleigh, North Carolina. While Smallie was in the band for the performance, the rest of the players were temporary and not listed in this recording. As you can hear in the tapes below, Trucks was always surrounded by the best.

The setlist is mostly old blues covers, with a few instrumental jams that show off a young Trucks’ early skills as a guitar virtuoso.
