Hot Tuna have a busy spring and summer ahead of them, as Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen go both acoustic and electric from coast to coast.
“The main issue is: I love to play the bass guitar,” Casady explained via press release. “The craft-work in really learning the subtleties of the instrument is a lifelong project.”
The band will have the David Bromberg Quartet on board through their February dates in the Western U.S.
Their string of acoustic/electric dates with Grisman, however, will stretch from July 9-18, with stops throughout the Northeast.
Check out the full list of dates and watch the duo perform backstage at The Capitol Theatre (where they will return on July 11 with Grisman) below:
