The story of Hot Tuna begins with Jefferson Airplane, a pioneering psychedelic rock band of the 1960s. By the late 1960s, amidst the turbulence and creativity of the counterculture movement, Kaukonen and Casady left Jefferson Airplane and sought a new musical outlet. This desire led to the formation of Hot Tuna. Hot Tuna, an iconic American blues rock band, that has been delivering a profound musical experience to audiences pushing six decades. With founding members Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady at its helm, the band has constantly evolved, continually injecting fresh energy and improvisation into their sound.
