Joe Marcinek w/Melody Trucks & The Fitzkee Bros
This is the first appearance of Joe Marcinek w/Melody Trucks & The Fitzkee Bros at the Big Blues Bender.
2026The Joe Marcinek Band is an experience you will never forget. That is because each show features a different lineup of musicians creating a different set of music every night. The music is equal parts Chicago Blues, New Orleans Funk, Grateful Dead Psychedelia, and Jazz Fusion, and for this special Blues Bender show, music of the Allman Brothers Band!
Joe will be joined by The Fitzkee Brothers, known for their high-energy, highly improvisational performances that blend classic rock spirit and old-school funk with a modern jam band edge. Inspired by the sounds of The Allman Brothers Band, The Grateful Dead, Parliament Funkadelic, The Meters, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and The Band, the Brothers also channel the explosive energy of performers like Jimi Hendrix and Foo Fighters. Their musicianship has led to standout moments—most notably being invited twice to jam with Post Malone in his private jam room, where he said, “You guys are like the mini F’ing Allman Brothers!”
For the 2026 Bender Joe is bringing special guest Melody Trucks, a talented percussionist and vocalist. Melody has performed in front of thousands at major music festivals such as The Peach Music Festival, Suwannee Rising, and Hulaween. As the daughter of the late Allman Bros drummer Butch Trucks, she continues her family’s legacy in the Southern Rock and Jam Band worlds. Her skillful percussion work and dynamic stage presence have earned her a devoted following among music fans!
Joe tours nationally from New York to LA and everywhere in between. Most of the lineups will only happen one time making every night a can't miss show.
