Photo: Erin Cox   April 22, 2015: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Jorma Kaukonen stopped by eTown Radio earlier this year to record a performance in support of his acclaimed Red House release, Ain't In No Hurry. For the session, Jorma is joined by legendary producer/guitarist Larry Campbell (Levon Helm, Dylan, Hot Tuna) and Campbell's wife, vocalist Teresa Williams, both of whom appear on the album. The episode, which features Jorma and Joe Purdy, is airing around the country via radio and podcast starting today, Wednesday, April 22 through Monday, April 27.   Find a local radio station here: http://www.etown.org/explore/find-a-station/ Stream the episode online here: http://www.etown.org/broadcasts/jorma-kaukonen-joe-purdy/   In a career that has already spanned a half-century, Jorma remains one of the most highly respected interpreters of American roots music, blues, and Americana with a history that influenced popular rock-and-roll. Ain't In No Hurry is a collection of Jorma originals, blues, rockers and classic American songs, including Woody Guthrie lyrics set to music on a new song by by Jorma and Larry Campbell.    A member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a Grammy nominee as well as one of Rolling Stone's "Top 100 Guitarists of All Time," he is a founding member of two legendary bands, Jefferson Airplane and the still-touring Hot Tuna, and is recognized as one of the leading practitioners and teachers of finger-style guitar. Jorma’s renown goes far beyond his involvement creating psychedelic rock; he is a music legend and one of the finest singer-songwriters in music. He's also an avid motorcyclist, a gallery owner (the Psylodelic Gallery, dedicated to the arts and culture of the 1960s arts) and co-owner of the Fur Peace Ranch, an Ohio-based concert venue and guitar center where Jorma conducts workshops, bringing in such guitar masters as G.E. Smith and Larry Campbell. There's a new documentary film about the ranch, "Fur Peace Ranch: It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This." 2015 will see Jorma on the road playing both solo shows and Hot Tuna dates with high school friend and JA and Hot Tuna bandmate Jack Cassidy.      For more information about Jorma, please visit his website at www.jormakaukonen.com   Recent Press “a master in situ, unfurling melodies and savoring every note.” – Rolling Stone “It is Kaukonen’s original material that best tells the story.” – Forbes "Clearly not content on resting on any of his legendary laurels, Jorma Kaukoenen continues to find ways to wed his muse to the right material and create a colorful tableau." – Relix “Jorma Kaukonen is a master of American music. …[Ain’t In No Hurry is] a loping stroll through the best American music there is” – LA Weekly “Jorma Kaukonen is a force in American music, equally adept at fingerpicked acoustic folk and blues as he is at wailing on an electric.” – Acoustic Guitar “Another great display of his finger picking guitar style.” – Elmore “Sparkling acoustic textures that dominate…In the intricate and intimate style that pervades this album” – Glide “Kaukonen mixes well known and more obscure fare with a handful of freshly penned tunes, most of which sound like lost gems from 100 years ago.” – American Songwriter "Hot Tuna is a Psychedelic-Blues Institution" – Rolling Stone   Jorma Kaukonen 2015 SA 4/25 Pomeroy, OH - Fur Peace Station FR 5/15 Shirley, MA - The Bull Run Concert Series SA 5/16 Beacon, NY - Towne Crier Cafe FR 6/19 Honoulu, HI - Mamiya Theatre - with Hot Tuna  SA 6/20 Kauai, HI - Kauai Performing Arts Center - with Hot Tuna  SU 6/21 Maui, HI - Mill House at Maui Tropical Plantation - with Hot Tuna FR 6/26 Hilo, HI - Palace Theater - With Hot Tuna  SA 6/27 Honoka’a, HI - Honoka’a People’s theatre - With Hot Tuna SU 6/28 Honolulu, HI - Crossroads at Hawaiian Brian’s - With Hot Tuna  TH 7/9 Ogunquit, ME - Jonathan’s - With Hot Tuna  FR 7/10 Plymouth, NH - The Flying Monkey - With Hot Tuna SA 7/11 Beverly, MA - Cabot Theater - With Hot Tuna  SU 7/12 North Truro, MA - Payomet PAC - With Hot Tuna  TU 7/14 Norfolk, CT - Infinity Music Hall and Bistro - With Hot Tuna  SU 7/19 Patchogue, NY - Great South Bay Music Festival - With Hot Tuna  SA 8/1 Pomeroy, OH - Fur Peace Station - With Hot Tuna  SA 9/12 Arlington, VA - Lockin’ Festival - With Hot Tuna  SA 10/24 Woodstock, NY - Woodstock Playhouse FR 11/6 San Rafael, CA - Terrapin Crossroads SA 11/7 San Francisco, CA - Great American Music Hall - With Hot Tuna  SA 11/14 Pomeroy, OH  - Fur Peace Station - With Hot Tuna
