Sunshine Music Festival Hits Florida

Husband and wife shredders: Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks

For the past three years, the Sunshine Music Festival, a traveling concert headlined by the Grammy-winning Tedeschi-Trucks Band, has consistently provided one of Florida's best winter lineups. 

Lucky for us, the streak continues this year.
