Fur Peace Productions is back with its 2025 Concert Series at Stuart’s Opera House in Nelsonville, Ohio, marking the return of exceptional live music to Southeast Ohio after the sale of the Fur Peace Ranch. The series kicks off July 6 with Peter Rowan & Sam Grisman Project, followed by Hot Tuna Acoustic and Suzy Bogguss with Jorma Kaukonen. Tickets go on sale February 18 for these intimate, historic performances at one of Ohio’s finest venues.

Epiphone is proud to continue its longest signature artist partnership with the legendary bass player, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee, and founding member of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna!

Masters in their field, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady’s joy in playing unfiltered riffs, swapping notes and smiles, has delighted them and thrilled their audiences for seven decades! 

Features songs by Jimmie Rodgers, Reverend Gary Davis, and tracks from Hot Tuna and his classic debut album ‘Quah.’

Jorma released ‘Typewriter Tapes,’ a 1964 restored and remastered recording of Jorma on guitar and Janis Joplin on vocals.

For decades, this recording was the stuff of legend, with inferior, multi-generational transfers making their way through select collector’s circles.

Jorma is perhaps the most unassuming rock icon I’ve ever interviewed. Not only did The Jefferson Airplane bring psychedelic music of the ’60s to a wider audience than The Grateful Dead scored for more than a decade to come, but Jorma’s work with Hot Tuna opened a door to folk fans that Dylan had first explored when he went electric.   

Jorma and John Hurlbut touring in July!

New acoustic and electric Hot Tuna tour dates!

Jorma’s #40 Quarantine Concert this Saturday, one-year anniversary coming up!
