Mike Mattison - Songwriting, The Tedeschi Trucks Band, Playing Jazz In Budapest & The US

On the show today, we have musician and vocalist, Mike Mattison. You might know him from The Derek Trucks Band or more recently, The Tedeschi Trucks Band.

I’m a huge fan of The Tedeschi Trucks Band, who is probably the best band in the world today, so it was a huge pleasure talking to Mike.

Mike is also the songwriter behind one of the most popular The Tedeschi Trucks Band song, Midnight In Harlem.
