Tedeschi Trucks Band’s Simple Things: La Cabane A Huitres

Since the mid-’90s, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks have both had successful music careers, she as an acclaimed singer/songwriter and he as an electrifying guitar player with his group and the Allman Brothers Band, among others. The two met on tour in 1999, married a couple of years later and had two children, but their hectic solo schedules often kept them apart. To rectify the situation, they formed the Tedeschi Trucks Band, an 11-member ensemble that recently released debut album Revelator (Sony Masterworks), which was recorded at the duo’s home studio. Knowing how much they like to do things together, we asked Tedeschi and Trucks to guest edit magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new Q&A with them.

Derek: One of the great things about being on the road is searching out great restaurants that are unique to the region. When I was in Paris a few years ago, we found this tiny oyster house and had an epic meal with the band. I read about it in a book about oysters, and we had to try it out. Francis, who owns the place, is the same guy who farms the oysters with his son in a town called Arcachon. It’s so small that they have one seating a night, family style, and have to hand food over people to get to everyone. It’s a set menu and great wine pairings. I went back again this year during our tour, and it did not disappoint!
