The duo Hot Tuna.

Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen were chart-toppers as psych rockers with legendary San Francisco band Jefferson Airplane. But the first music they played together as teens, beginning in the 1950s on the East Coast, was folk and blues music. The duo reemerged in the roots music world as Hot Tuna during their Airplane days, mixing a one-of-a-kind take on more traditional music with the energetic approach of rock music...and that fiery approach has never dimmed, whether playing electric or acoustic (the format for their 2023 spring tour dates).
