Derek Trucks (born June 8, 1979) is a Grammy Award-winning American guitarist, songwriter, and record producer. He is a member of The Allman Brothers Band and his own band, which he founded at age 15 and bears his name.
Derek's uncle is drummer Butch Trucks, a founding member of The Allman Brothers Band who has continued to perform with them since the band was established in 1969.
Trucks first attracted the attention of the music industry as a nine-year old child prodigy on the guitar, and by age 12, he'd worked with some of the biggest names in the music scene. He was sitting in with Buddy Guy and an increasing list of other famous musicians, touring with The Allman Brothers Band for a decade before finally becoming an official band member in 1999.
Trucks is known best for his specialty as a slide guitarist, his stoic focus while performing on stage, his reverence for the legacy of roots and blues musicians, as well as his familiarity and integration of a wide variety of musical genres in his music.
The Derek Trucks Band (often called simply, Derek Trucks) is the debut album by American blues band The Derek Trucks Band, released on October 7, 1997. The album is composed mainly of re-arranged jazz and blues classics and the rest are original compositions by the band. Derek was seventeen years old at the time of the release of the album.
