In 1999, Farm Aid ventured into the Washington D.C. area for the first
time. The concert energized farmers and advocates and became a rallying
point for a flurry of events. Hundreds of farmers came to Washington
bearing an urgent message for legislators: “Act now to stop the
destruction of family farms!” Their primary target was the “Freedom to
Farm” bill that had been in place since 1996. This bill had resulted in
record profits for multinational grain traders and big food
manufacturing companies while leaving family farmers bankrupt. The Farm
Aid events inspired farmers to keep on fighting for fair prices and
educated the public about important farm issues. The concert aired live
on CMT: Country Music Television for the second time. The stellar lineup
included Susan Tedeschi, Keb’Mo’, Deana Carter, the Barenaked Ladies,
Dave Matthews Band, John Mellencamp, Willie Nelson, Neil Young, and
others. The music was so good that it went on for an extra half hour!Susan Tedeschi performs "Just Won't Burn" at the Farm Aid concert in Bristow, Virginia on September 12, 1999.

The group performed at a number of festivals including Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival, Fuji Rock Festival and others. Unlike their previous collaborative project – Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi's Soul Stew Revival – the Tedeschi Trucks Band focuses on writing and performing original material, and is the focus of both Trucks and Tedeschi for the foreseeable future.
