Tonight, the Grammy Award-winning rock and soul 12-piece ensemble Tedeschi Trucks Band will premiere the final chapter of their 4-LP project I Am The Moon, I Am The Moon: Episode IV. Farewell. Like the previous three releases Episode IV. Farewell will come with a full-length companion film from filmmaker Alix Lambert on the band’s YouTube Channel, which will be available starting tonight at 9 p.m. ET, and three days later, on Aug. 26, the LP will be released digitally and on CD.

Esteemed music journalist David Fricke wrote about the final chapter of I Am The Moon in his bio notes, writing: “Farewell – the final record in the groundbreaking studio release by Tedeschi Trucks Band, I Am The Moon – concludes a remarkable adventure and new beginning for the group, now in its 12th year as America’s premier rock & roll big band: four distinct and, at the same time, deeply connected albums with a total of 24 original songs capturing the power of devotion in a time of crisis and separation, with a renewed energy in collective songwriting and performance. Opening with the lusty confrontation of ‘Last Night In The Rain’ and ending with the rousing benediction ‘Another Day,’ Farewell is ‘a wish of well-being at parting,’ as one dictionary defines that word – with more road and love ahead.”

Since the initial roll-out of the project, fans have eagerly attended performances by the ensemble led by Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks embracing the project like no other in the band’s history, enjoying live debuts off the project interlaced with their rich discography.

It’s notable that last night Tedeschi Trucks Band took to Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! to share their uplifting and touching new single “Soul Sweet Song,” along with three other songs in an off-air livestream, and the band kicked off their west coast leg of their Wheels of Soul tour with shows at The Greek Theatre.
