Hot Tuna acoustic and electric
Date/Time
Location
Mahaiwe (14 Castle Street, Great Barrington, MA 01230)
The Mahaiwe presents an Evening with Hot Tuna, acoustic and electric, and guest artists the David Bromberg Quintet.
Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady founded Hot Tuna in 1969 as a side project during their Jefferson Airplane days. Half a century later, the boyhood pals are still passionate as ever about playing music together. Kaukonen is a leading practitioner and teacher of fingerstyle guitar. Casady is known for having broadened the range and scope of electric bass playing, taking it out of the rhythm category and bringing to it a world of complex and complementary melodies. In 2016, the duo was honored at the Grammys with Lifetime Achievement Awards.
For Americana godfather David Bromberg, it all began with the blues. A musician’s musician, Bromberg’s mastery of several stringed instruments (guitar, fiddle, Dobro, mandolin), and multiple styles remains a marvel. His incredible journey spans five-and-a-half decades, and includes – but is not limited to – adventures with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jerry Garcia, and music and life lessons from seminal blues guitarist Reverend Gary Davis, who claimed the young Bromberg as a son.
