From their days playing together as teenagers to their current acoustic and electric blues, probably no one has more consistently led American music for the last 50 years -- yes! -- than Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, the founders and continuing core members of Hot Tuna.
Although many will remember this pair from their days in The Jefferson Airplane as they contributed to the soundtrack of the 60’s (and gained them entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame), Hot Tuna has reinvented itself through the decades, joined by a succession of talented musicians.
Through the years, the duo has remained loyal to the blues, jazz, bluegrass and folk influences that originally inspired their musical careers. After two decades of acoustic and electric concerts and albums, the 1990s brought a new focus on acoustic music to Hot Tuna. More intimate venues with a more individual connection to the audience became increasingly frequent stops.
Today, both are teaching and passing along what they had learned and what they had uniquely developed toa new generation of players, in addition to continuing to tour together as they still love to play as much as they did as kids. There are still many, many exciting miles yet to travel on their musical odyssey.
