News entry published on 23 September 2007 / Last modified on 10 October 2007

Win tickets to see the Derek Trucks Band in London, Rome or Frankfurt!

THE CONTEST HAS ENDED

The Derek Trucks Band takes a progressive approach to roots music, blending rock, blues, jazz, and world music into the sound that now defines the DTB. The band is known for their amazing live performances, led by Trucks' soaring guitar work, and backed by the impressive individual talents of this band. In 2006 Derek was asked to join guitar legend Eric Clapton's band for the 2006 - 2007 world tour. Derek currently divides his time between The Derek Trucks Band and The Allman Brothers Band.

The Derek Trucks Band will be supporting their 2006 release "Songlines" as well as their DVD release "Songlines Live" with an 11-date European Tour this October. On 11 October, the band kicks off the tour in London, with gigs in France, Italy, Macedonia and Germany! Check out the DTB Tour Schedule.
