Just because MTV doesn’t play music anymore doesn’t mean there’s not tons of live music on television these days. Consider our weekly feature “Live Wire,” your guide to performances, concerts and rock star appearances on the tube. All times are ET.
Live Wire Spotlight – Tedeschi Trucks Band on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (11:35 p.m. Monday, NBC)
About a year and a half ago, guitar wonder Derek Trucks and blues singer Susan Tedeschi (who are married) disbanded their own bands and put together their own group in order to spend more time with each other and their two children. With an album (Revelator) out on June 7, the new blues-rock group will perform on Jay Leno’s late night show before embarking on an extensive summer tour.
