Hot Tuna kicked off
their 2018 tour to a sold out crowd at Nashville's City Winery last
night. Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady have been performing together
as Hot Tuna ever since 1969 in both acoustic and electric modes.
They first gained fame
as the instrumental backbone of the legendary Jefferson Airplane
bringing the “San Francisco” sound to the nation, indeed the
entire world, with “White Rabbit” in the summer of love (1967),
a song and sound that defined the era. But the the hearts of Jack
and Jorma belonged to the the roots of Americana, especially the
blues and that led them to begin Hot Tuna, eventually leaving
Jefferson Airplane/Starship, to continue their quest to create their
own sound following the direction of their hearts.
They delivered this
love of their music to the audience with a tight and powerful
rendering of the music they love. From Death don't have no Mercy to
Embryonic Journey to Light of the World to Serpent of Dreams the
audience showed their approval with the reverence they listened to
and the applause they gave after every song. The tour continues with
both acoustic and electric shows on the menu, to get your own taste
