"These two fancy-pickin' veterans have played with more Hall of Famers than Brett Favre has. Jorma Kaukonen is a co-founder of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna whose latest album, the folk-oriented "River of Time," came out on Red House last year. Guitarist/mandolinist David Bromberg has played with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jerry Garcia and Willie Nelson, among others. He's released only one solo album in the past 20 years: 2007's "Try Me One More Time," featuring traditional blues and witty originals." (Jon Bream, The Big Gigs, Star Tribune 1/29/10)
The first of two shows featuring a pair of genuine musician's musicians. Each artist will play individually (Jorma will be up last, for this 5pm show), and they will also combine forces for a duo showcase session, along with Hot Tuna mandolinist Barry Mitterhoff.
A singular performer/writer/arranger, David Bromberg’s remarkable musical versatility and innovative resourcefulness have earned vast critical and popular acclaim. He is also impossible to classify: As one critic perceptively wrote, “David Bromberg fits no pigeonholes. He is part of everything contemporarily musical. He is a product of blues, country, jazz, folk, and classical music. From his early success as a guitar virtuoso, Mr. Bromberg has developed into a brilliant entertainer.”
In a career that has already spanned a half-century, Jorma Kaukonen has been the leading practitioner and teacher of fingerstyle guitar, one of the most highly respected interpreters of American roots music, blues, and Americana, and at the forefront of popular rock-and-roll. He was a founding member of two legendary bands, The Jefferson Airplane and the still-touring Hot Tuna, a Grammy nominee, a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the most in-demand instructor in the galaxy of stars who teach at the Fur Peace Ranch Guitar Camp that he and his wife operate in picturesque Southeastern Ohio.
