With continual creativity and finesse, Acoustic Hot Tuna embarks on their fall tour across the western states. Masters in their field, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady bring joy to their playing with unfiltered riffs, note-swapping, and shared smiles, delighting audiences for seven decades! They infuse their music with a wealth of emotions through deep perceptions and tremendous talent. As members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Grammy recipients, they continually inject fresh energy into their sound, pushing their musical horizons further. Every note is a unique expression of that very moment!
“Jorma Kaukonen's dexterity runs circles around most players … His material stands the test of time in a way that most others will not.” – Billboard
“A forerunner of today’s entire jam band scene, his nimble fingerpicking equals, and I dare say, improves upon the template laid down by Rev. Gary Davis. He has a warm, expressive voice, like an old friend returning… he’s an American treasure, singing and playing still at the very top of his game.” – Goldmine
“Focus on the things you love, listen with an open heart, and the music will speak for itself!” – Jorma Kaukonen
"Jack Casady is virtually unparalleled, possessing one of the most truly unique electric bass voices in rock… He can seamlessly melt into a supportive role, but when opportunity knocks, he bursts forth with creative lines—both simple and ornate—that are unlike any you’ve heard.” – Premier Guitar
"For about 45 years, Casady has been regarded as one of rock's greatest bassists, certainly one of its most original." – Vintage Guitar
“Playing thrills me now more than ever.” – Legendary bass player, Jack Casady.
Hot Tuna, with Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, performs with well-honed and solid power—always in the groove, thanks to their years of experience and friendship.
