Hot Tuna!!!!


A show not to be missed!!!! Hot Tuna!!!!!
Sunday, July 29 at 8:00pm... McGlohon Theatre at Spirit Square!


From their days playing together as teenagers, the early years with Jefferson Airplane, to their current acoustic and electric blues, probably no one has more consistently led American music for the last 50 years than Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, the founders and continuing core members of Hot Tuna. Jorma is an expert in the finger-picking guitar style exemplified by the now-legendary Rev. Gary Davis. Jorma and Jack were an important part of the unique sound that was The Jefferson Airplane. While in The Airplane the pair remained loyal to the blues, jazz, bluegrass, and folk influences of the small clubs and larger venues they had learned from years before and Hot Tuna was born as the acoustic spin-off of the band. Beginning in 2004, Hot Tuna returned to some of its own roots by adding an electric set to their acoustic one.
