A biography for Susan Tedeschihasn’t been written yet.
“We have a rule about how much we will work, so that we're not away from our kids for too long.”
“Actually we used bands like Mad Dogs & Englishmen, Delaney & Bonnie, and Derek & the Dominos as a template.”
“If it wasn't for blues and gospel, I don't think I would be who I am.”
“We've done a lot of festivals everywhere from Japan to Australia to Belgium, and you know when it's a special festival.”
“Derek actually had started with The Allman Brothers in June of '99, right around his 20th birthday, and I was 28. I told him he was too young for me, but everybody knows he's an older soul than I am.”
“Derek, as a little kid, was out touring. I was just doing normal kid stuff.”
“I think, having kids, I really care more about the world. I'm not just caring about myself.”
“Derek is a workaholic. He'll stay in the studio day and night if we let him. Me, I need to get away from it. I'll go see the kids, do laundry, something domestic.”
“Being in a band is like a marriage because you have to care about everybody because you're all living together.”
“If I had enough time I could easily write three to four songs a day, but, just keeping up, I don't have enough free hand space.”
“Society is moving so fast, at some point it's good to make up your mind about where you're really coming from.”
“I think sometimes I tap into other people. I sometimes write about other things that I see or just different situations.”
“People like Sam Cooke, maybe you get turned on to first, and then all of a sudden you realize that there are all these amazing, great gospel singers. I dig into that stuff all the time.”
“Everything we do is so soulful. It's actually a blend of gospel, blues, country and funk, but it's all soulful where we're telling a story with emotions and the audience can feel it.”
“The Grammys is kind of a trip.”
“What we've learned is there's no right way to write a song.”
“It can really changes someone's life or make them think, 'Wow! I can do this. We can do this.' It's cool. I love how music can do that.”
“I'm just honored to be in a band with Derek. He's incredible.”
“The great thing about the blues is that it's not about male or female.”
“I love playing live and meeting a lot of the people and hearing their stories and how the music touches their lives.”
