Hot Tuna is an American blues rock band formed in 1969 by
former Jefferson Airplane members Jorma Kaukonen (guitarist/vocals) and Jack
Casady (bassist).
The story begins with Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, childhood
friends from Washington D.C., who bonded over their love for music. They played
together in their teens before Kaukonen's family relocated.
Years later, their paths crossed again in San Francisco's
thriving music scene. Kaukonen became a founding member of Jefferson Airplane, a
pioneering psychedelic rock band, while Casady joined shortly after.

While Jefferson Airplane dominated the rock scene, Kaukonen and
Casady craved a space to explore their acoustic blues and folk roots.
In 1969, Hot Tuna was born as a side project, initially
featuring just the two of them and occasional harmonica player Will Scarlet.
Their debut album in 1970 captured a raw, acoustic blues sound.
As Hot Tuna gained popularity, they experimented with
electric elements, incorporating violin and drums. This period saw albums like "First
Pull Up, Then Pull Down" and "Burgers," showcasing their evolving
sound.

Hot Tuna transitioned into a powerful trio with the addition of
drummer Sammy Piazza. Albums like "Phosphorescent Rat" reflected a
heavier, electric blues rock direction.
Internal tensions led to a hiatus in 1978, with Kaukonen pursuing
a solo career. In 1986, Hot Tuna reunited, returning to their acoustic
roots.
Since then, they've remained a popular touring act, captivating
audiences with their virtuosic musicianship and deep love for blues music.
Despite lineup changes over the years, the core duo of Kaukonen
and Casady has remained constant.
Hot Tuna carved a unique niche in the rock landscape, blending
blues, folk, and rock into a distinctive sound. Their influence is felt by
generations of musicians who appreciate their dedication to roots music.
Today, Hot Tuna continues to perform, delighting fans with their
timeless music and electrifying live shows.
