The fascination continues this summer with Hot Tuna as they tour around The States performing their music with appeal and alluring passion. Or please come sit back with them in the gently rolling hills of the Fur Peace Ranch Guitar Camp as they explain their thoughts on music, and perform at the Fur Peace Live Concert events with their friends who come to stay and play at Fur Peace Ranch in Pomeroy, Ohio.

Few musical journeys spanned as long and varied as Jorma and Jack's. As pioneers of the premier San Francisco electric sound with Jefferson Airplane, something else much bigger was meant to spawn and thrive for decades to come. Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady have held the foundations of their lifelong band and partnership Hot Tuna together for over forty-three years.

Jorma and Vanessa Kaukonen will open the doors to The Fur Peace Ranch Center for Art & Culture, Meigs County, Ohio in a grand celebration bringing the country the Psylodelic Gallery and the Psylodelic Sit-In.  The event will shine a spotlight on the art and installations at the new Psylodelic Gallery and provide a prime opportunity for area representatives to echo the inspirations and goals of the psychedelic era. Big Brother and the Holding Company will perform at 8 p.m.
