Acoustic or Electric Hot Tuna lives in a world of inspiration whether conspiring with each other, playing with friends or pulling it out of thin air, Hot Tuna is indeed "Psychedelic-Blues Institution” – Rolling Stone
In the coming months Hot Tuna will be joined by David Bromberg Quintet, Steve Kimock & Friends, The Midnight Ramble Band and Little Feat! Check out the schedule below!
For over 50 years Hot Tuna, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, has brought a wealth of emotions to their music through deep perceptions and tremendous talent. They are always injecting fresh energy into their sound with constant improvisation taking their musical horizons further. Come out for the music and the joy of life - Hot Tuna's on tour!
From their days playing together as teenagers in the Washington, DC area, through years of inventive psychedelic rock in San Francisco (1996 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees), to their current acoustic and electric blues sound, 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.
"Guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Casady are without question in the discussion about who are among the greatest musicians; each has distinguished himself by developing a style that is easy to pick out and that others often try to imitate. But more importantly, Kaukonen, and Casady, have over time forged a partnership that’s as vital to their art as raw talent is. The duo use music to speak a language they seemingly invented, yet cannily allow the rest of us in on the exhilarating dialogues.” - The Art Fuse
In the latest issue of MOJO Magazine, Michael Simmons says "[Jorma] the 80-year-old is an exemplar of the [60's] movement’s best ideals: an inquisitive open mind, a sense of justice, evolving creativity, irreverent wit."
Jack always adds musical excellence and understanding. As a feeling for a song grows within Jack it develops and deepens “It’s difficult to get it out precisely, that entity that is so hard to put into words… Music is the oddest art form," explains Jack.
Together Jorma and Jack have forged a way through the last five decades always expressing the emotions of the contemporary times.
