Hot Tuna Blues at the Lycian Centre

Come in from the Cold to see one Hot Concert!

Main Stage Kings Theatre Company is thrilled to present Hot Tuna Blues, at the Lycian Centre for the Performing Arts in Sugar Loaf on Saturday, January 29, 2011 at 8:00pm.

This program includes both the acoustic and electric programs of Hot Tuna and features Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, blues icon Charlie Musselwhite on harmonica and guitar, and two-time Grammy® winner Jim Lauderdale.

From their days playing together as teenagers to their current acoustic and electric blues, probably no one has more consistently led American music for the last 50 years than Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, the founding and continuing core members of Hot Tuna. Kaukonen co-founded Jefferson Airplane and with Casady created much of the Airplane’s signature sound. From their jam sessions Hot Tuna was born and the group has toured and recorded steadily since then, for more than forty years! Along with other members of Jefferson Airplane, both were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.

Charlie Musselwhite incorporates a lifetime of musical experience from his early Mississippi Delta days to his immersion in Chicago urban blues and beyond. The New York Press has called him “the world’s greatest living blues harmonica player”. Two-time Grammy winner, Jim Lauderdale is one of the premier Americana and Bluegrass artists in music today.

Collectively, Kaukonen, Casady, Musselwhite and Lauderdale will deliver an exciting musical odyssey not to be missed!

Tickets for this great concert event may be purchased on-line or by calling the Lycian Centre Box Office at (845) 469-2287, Tuesday through Saturday, between 11 am and 4 pm.
