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 founders and continuing core members of Hot Tuna. Hot Tuna began during a hiatus in Jefferson Airplane's touring schedule in early 1969.

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are like a modern-day version of Tina Turner stroking the microphone in a spangled mini-dress while fronting the Rolling Stones circa Sticky Fingers. The proof is there for all to hear on the band’s third album for Hollywood Records, hitting this spring, and marks an artistic breakthrough for a vital young band caught in the act of fulfilling its immense promise. Little wonder that Grace and her cohorts have chosen to title it, directly and emphatically, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. |

Michael Franti first gained notoriety in the late '80s with the industrial group The Beatnigs, which crafted a relentless barrage of noise and political lyrics. Built around innovative samples and Franti's stridently booming voice, Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy then attracted attention as a peer of Public Enemy in the early '90s. Franti now leads the San Francisco-based Spearhead, and his ability to provoke debate hasn't waned since his revolutionary beginnings.
Since the release of their first album in 2000, Franti and Spearhead have toured relentlessly, headlining hundreds of shows as well as sharing the stage with acts as diverse as Dave Matthews, Ani DiFranco, Trey Anastasio and KRS-One. Michael Franti & Spearhead's latest album, Yell Fire!, draws on Franti's recent travels to Iraq, Israel and Pakistan.
