“In what promises to be one of the hottest shows of the summer: Melody Trucks Band with The Fitzkee Brothers, featuring Vaylor Trucks, in an exciting, provocative, classic Southern rock & roots rockin' three hour jam performance on the beach. Family to the famous Derek Trucks of the Tedeschi Trucks Band and son & daughter of the original Allman Brothers founding member and percussionist, Butch Trucks, they are pure pedigree with youthful energy and vibrancy that makes this such a special performance.”
