A Grammy Award-nominated blues singer and guitarist, she made a name for herself with her Gold-certified album Just Won’t Burn. Over the years, she’s shared the stage with the Tedeschi Trucks Band, showcasing her powerful vocals and dynamic guitar skills. Before all the spotlight and acclaim, she was already deeply immersed in music, earning her bachelor’s degree from the prestigious Berklee College of Music by the age of twenty—a testament to her early dedication. She later married renowned guitarist Derek Trucks, and together, they’ve built both a musical and personal partnership that continues to inspire. The couple has two beautiful children: a son named Charles Khalil Trucks and a daughter named Sophia Naima Trucks. Through every chapter of her life, her passion for music and family has remained at the heart of who she is.
She’s been playing in bands ever since she was thirteen, honestly. It’s kind of incredible when you think about it—starting that young and sticking with it all these years. She really found her passion early on, and from the moment she joined her first band at thirteen, she never looked back. She’s poured so much time and energy into music, and it shows in the way she performs. Even now, she carries that same drive she had back then.
