Hot Tuna finishes off 2019 with an acoustic duo tour framed by electric holiday shows as a solid power trio with drummer Justin Guip, and one of their favorite guests, Steve Kimock, joins in. Multi-instrumentalist/singer/songwriter Larry Campbell and singer-guitarist Teresa Williams open the acoustic shows.
“It’s unfathomable how Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady make each show its own experience, but they do … and effortlessly,” the critic Art Fuse raved. “Guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Casady are without question 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, 78, and Casady, 75, 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.”
