Founding members Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen started Hot Tuna as a side project of Jefferson Airplane in 1969. The band initially formed when Grace Slick was recovering from throat node surgery, leaving her unable to perform. Alongside harmonica player Willow Scarlett, they began performing together. Eventually, Paul Kantner and drummer Joey Covington joined for early performances.
In the 1970s, Hot Tuna transitioned into a full-time band with a more rock-oriented style. They welcomed fiddler Papa John Creach and drummer Sammy Piazza for their second LP. Later on, the band transformed into a power trio with Bob Steeler taking over on drums.
With influences ranging from New Riders of the Purple Sage to Stephen Stills, Hot Tuna has carved out their own unique sound within the music industry. Their rich history and evolution make them an essential part of any music collection.

Upon achieving massive success as founding members of the Jefferson Airplane, long time friends Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady would soon look for other ways to expand their love of traditional blues and rock and would soon evolve into the highly inventive and successful Hot Tuna. One of the first jam bands of its kind, the duo has continued either acoustically or as full tilt rockers for over 5 decades now, and their importance is measured by their amazing run of chart albums and concerts going back to the late sixties.

Their sixth album “Yellow Fever” would be released in 1975, and it also was their second power trio outing following their hit “America’s Choice” (Friday Music) and features Rock Hall Of Famer Jorma Kaukonen’s stunning vocal and lead guitar artistry, the powerful and intricate bass work of Rock Hall Of Famer Jack Casady and the return of Bob Steeler on drums.
