Susan Tedeschi (pronounced te-DES-ki) (November 9, 1970 in Boston, Massachusetts) is an American blues and soul artist, who has received multiple Grammy Award nominations, and is well-known for her singing voice, stage presence, and marriage to Derek Trucks. She is also known for the "Soul Stew Revival", a conglomeration of her band, The Derek Trucks Band, and assorted other personnel. Susan Tedeschi was born on November 9, 1970, in Boston, Massachusetts to a family of Italian ancestry, (Tedeschi means Germans in Italian) and was raised in Norwell, Massachusetts. Tedeschi has always been musically inclined, and made her debut public performance as a 6 year old understudy in a Broadway musical. Also, she sang for family members and listened to her father''s record collection of old vinyl recordings, like Mississippi John Hurt and Lightning Hopkins. Raisedas a Catholic, she found little inspiration in the church choir, and so attended predominantly African-American Baptist churches, feeling the music was "less repressed and more like a celebration of God."
