A pioneer of San Francisco psychedelia, Jorma Kaukonen is a bona
fide graybeard folk swami. He mostly lays back, a master in situ,
unfurling melodies and savoring every note.

In a career that has already spanned a half-century, Jorma Kaukonen has
been one of the most highly respected interpreters of American roots
music, blues, and rock. A member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a
Grammy recipient, Jorma was at the forefront of popular rock and roll, one
of the founders of the San Francisco sound and a progenitor of Psychedelic
Rock. He is a founding member of two legendary bands, Jefferson
Airplane and the still-touring Hot Tuna. Jorma Kaukonen is a music legend
and one of the finest singer-songwriters in his field. He continues to tour
the world bringing his unique styling to old blues tunes while presenting
new songs of weight and dimension. His secret is in playing spontaneous
and unfiltered music, with an individual expression of personality. In 2016,
Jorma, Jack Casady and the other members of Jefferson Airplane were
awarded The GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award for their contributions
to American music.
