About The Show

City Winery Boston presents Jorma Kaukonen live in concert on Friday, June 23rd at 8PM.

“A pioneer of San Francisco psychedelia, Jorma Kaukonen is a bona  fide graybeard folk swami. He mostly lays back, a master in situ,  unfurling melodies and savoring every note. – Rolling Stone Magazine

In a career that has already spanned a half-century, Jorma Kaukonen has  been one of the most highly respected interpreters of American roots  music, blues, and rock. A member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a  Grammy recipient, Jorma was at the forefront of popular rock and roll, one  of the founders of the San Francisco sound and a progenitor of Psychedelic  Rock. He is a founding member of two legendary bands, Jefferson  Airplane and the still-touring Hot Tuna. Jorma Kaukonen is a music legend  and one of the finest singer-songwriters in his field. He continues to tour  the world bringing his unique styling to old blues tunes while presenting  new songs of weight and dimension. His secret is in playing spontaneous  and unfiltered music, with an individual expression of personality. In 2016,  Jorma, Jack Casady and the other members of Jefferson Airplane were  awarded The GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award for their contributions  to American music.

"A mesmerizing storyteller, Kaukonen delivers a memoir as intricate  and dazzling as his music." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
