Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady will join forces with Steve Kimock for an Electric Hot Tuna tour later this year. The band will also feature Justin Gulp on drums.
The tour will kick off with a set at Nederland, CO’s NedFest before the group swings through much of the Pacific Coast and Mountain West over the course of the next three weeks. Finally, the outing will wrap a show at the KiMo Theatre in Albuquerque, NM.
“With Steve Kimock on board for this Hot Tuna Tour you can count on a multidimensional dialogue between musical friends,” Kaukonen reportedly said in an official statement. “There’s never a dull moment when Steve is part of the conversation!”
“Musicianship, chemistry, history, Jack and Jorma are the real deal on every level. It’s an honor to hang with those guys and play that music,” Kimock added.
After finishing up the Electric Hot Tuna tour, Kaukonen and Casady will reconvene in the fall for an Acoustic Hot Tuna tour and a few Electric Hot Tuna shows (including a November 21st performance at New York City’s Beacon Theatre).
