TTB Wheels of Soul Tour 2018

Is it too early to think about opening bands for Tedeschi Trucks Band's Wheels of Soul Tour next year? I'm hoping for Mavis Staples and The Word.

The Word never did anything for me, but Mavis would be a fantastic choice. I'm always down for more Los Lobos. The band I want to see play Derek play with the most is Tinariwen, which might be a little bit of a stretch for the audience.

I would love a double bill of Wilco and TTB.
I'd be happy to see the Magpie Salute get the opening slot, and if the Wood Bros came around for another year of opening for TTB, that would be dandy too!

Medeski Martin & Wood, Bob Weir & The Campfire Band, and TTB

Tedeschi Trucks Band
Taj/Mo Band
Jackie Greene Band

Tedeschi Trucks Band
Sturgill Simpson
St Paul And The Broken Bones

Citizen Cope. Duh.

Wilco just announced a tour hiatus for 2018, but that would be a great bill
heard rumors of Widespread Panic (note: rumors were read on a wsp message board so take it fwiw, but I think it makes sense)
they've done a handful of one-off shows together but I'm surprised a co-bill tour with TTB & WSP hasn't happened already.
Susan & Derek have been guests at John Bell's charity event,
they sit in together at pretty much every common festival,
Derek & Susan have even come out on "off nights" to sit in with Panic when they've been in northern FLA

I seen the last several Wheels of Soul Tours. They've been great!
At this point, I'd like an Evening With the TTB tour to come to my area.
