About this episode

The episode features an interview with the Tedeschi Trucks Band during a live Bonnaroo performance, interrupted by a lightning storm.

In a Nashville Now first, Rolling Stone’s country music podcast goes to Bonnaroo for a live episode with the Tedeschi Trucks Band. But the interview with the husband-and-wife duo of Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks doesn’t go quite as planned — a lightning storm forces the evacuation of the festival! Yet Tedeschi Trucks will not be deterred. The band talk about the logistics and finances of touring with a 12-piece band, the new album Future Soul, and the three artists they think everyone needs to know. It’s a wet and chaotic episode of Nashville Now, live from the Farm at Bonnaroo. Country is Here… Nashville is Now. Check out our Hear Now playlist on Spotify, updated weekly.
