On Thursday afternoon, Tedeschi Trucks Band headed to the WXRT-FM studio in Chicago to show off some of their new material ahead of the second half of their residency at the Chicago Theatre this weekend on Friday, January 25th and Saturday, January 26th. Tedeschi Trucks Band’s upcoming album, SIGNS, is due out Friday, February 15th via Fantasy/Concord Records.
Following an intro from Marty Lennartz, the show’s host, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi and company dove into the recently-debuted “High & Mighty”, followed by SIGNS track “Shame”. A go-to cover of Sleepy John Estes‘ “Leaving Trunk” was up next before the band closed their four-song mini-set with Signs‘ lead single, “Hard Case”. Between songs, Trucks and Tedeschi spoke with Lennartz about the process of conceiving and creating SIGNS. You can watch a pro-shot video of the entire segment below.

Tedeschi Trucks Band will officially celebrate the unveiling of SIGNS at an album release show at Brooklyn Academy of Music in Brooklyn, NY on February 20th. As the band noted in their initial statement announcing the album, “SIGNS reflects on the losses suffered by the band in the past few years while still finding cause for hope and celebration in the beauty of life and nature.” The recent losses in the band’s extended family to which they refer include their friend and mentor Col Bruce Hampton and other greats like Leon Russell and Allman Brothers Band members Butch Trucks and Gregg Allman.
