Bonnie Raitt Honors John Prine With Susan Tedeschi & Slides With Derek Trucks At Sun, Sand

After sitting in with Tedeschi Trucks Band on opening night of their Sun, Sand & Soul Weekend, Bonnie Raitt returned the favor during her set Friday at Seascape Resort in Miramar Beach, Florida. TTB guitarists Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks and keyboardist Gabe Dixon were tasked with performing alongside Raitt and her band.

Among Raitt’s signature songs is her close association with John Prine’s “Angel From Montgomery,” which she helped popularize by recording it for her 1974 album, Streetlights. “Angel From Montgomery” has been a staple of Tedeschi Trucks Band live setlists for many years (often infusing the Grateful Dead’s “Sugaree”), with Tedeschi handling lead vocals.

Those singing duties were shared between Raitt and Tedeschi when the latter was brought onstage by the former.

“It is my great pleasure and honor to bring out one of my favorite singers and guitar players – songwriters, a sweetheart, and as funky as they come, won’t you welcome my friend, Susan Tedeschi,” Raitt said. “And she’s so pretty too. We’re going to pay tribute to one of our favorite people, John Prine … John, wherever you are, this one’s for you babe.”

Tedeschi was also part of a collaborative performance the B.B. King popularized “Never Make Your Move Too Soon” that also featured Derek Trucks accompanying on guitar and Gabe Dixon on keyboards. Tedeschi, Trucks and Dixon also backed Raitt on a performance of “I Believe I’m in Love With You” by Kim Wilson of The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

Jamming With The Queen: Bonnie Raitt Joins Tedeschi Trucks Band At Sun, Sand & Soul

Watch Raitt and Derek Trucks shred on a medley of “Leavin’ Trunk” and “Volunteered Slavery.”

Tedeschi Trucks Band kicked off their 2025 tour last night with their first of two headlining performances at the group’s second annual Sun, Sand and Soul concert vacation weekend at Seascape Resort in Florida. Legendary musician Bonnie Raitt made a guest appearance with the TTB late in their set on Friday night.

Bonnie Raitt was on hand to perform on Saturday at Sun, Sand and Soul 2025. Susan Tedeschi has long cited Raitt as one of her biggest inspirations. Tedeschi and her husband and co-band leader Derek Trucks previously performed with Bonnie Raitt at the 2016 Holland International Blues Festival, a collaboration Susan described as a “lifelong dream” in a post on social media.

Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks surprised fans by swapping their positions on stage for the first time in the band’s +15-year history. Tedeschi Trucks Band had been off the road since last November. The powerhouse 12-piece ensemble’s appearances at Sun, Sand and Soul begin their extensive Live In 25 North American Tour. Over 40 dates are currently scheduled through October.

The announcement of the 2025 tour included word the TTB are currently working on new music with producer Mike Elizondo (Sheryl Crow, Lake Street Dive, Fiona Apple). Tedeschi and Trucks will hit the studio with the band between tour stops and are aiming to release their first new music since 2022’s I Am The Moon series of albums early next year.

Tedeschi Trucks Band gave fans at Sun, Sand and Soul a preview by debuting a song entitled “Crazy Cryin’” to open their set. The rest of the 15-song performance featured such classic originals as “Anyhow,” “Do I Look Worried,” “Bound For Glory” and “Made Up Mind.” Additionally, I Am The Moon was represented by its title track, “Pasaquan” and “Sweet Soul Song.” A handful of covers made the setlist including Chuck Willis’ “I Feel So Bad,” Louis Jordan’s “Let The Good Times Roll” and Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right.”

Bonnie Raitt emerged before “Don’t Think Twice” for a medley of Sleepy John Estes’ “Leavin’ Trunk” and Rahsaan Roland Kirk’s “Volunteered Slavery.” Susan Tedeschi introduced Raitt as “The Queen.” Bonnie Raitt on slide traded licks with Derek Trucks ahead of the transition into “Volunteered Slavery.” Later, the TTB ended the night with an encore of “Soul Sweet Song” and “Let’s Go Get Stoned.”
