In a career that has already spanned a half-century, Jorma Kaukonen has been one of the most highly respected interpreters of American roots music, blues, and rock. A member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a Grammy recipient, Jorma was at the forefront of popular rock and roll, one of the founders of the San Francisco sound and a progenitor of Psychedelic Rock. He is a founding member of two legendary bands, Jefferson Airplane and the still-touring Hot Tuna. Jorma Kaukonen is a music legend and one of the finest singer-songwriters in his field. He continues to tour the world bringing his unique styling to old blues tunes while presenting new songs of weight and dimension. His secret is in playing spontaneous and unfiltered music, with an individual expression of personality. In 2016, Jorma, Jack Casady and the other members of Jefferson Airplane were awarded The GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award for their contributions to American music.
As the leading practitioner and teacher of fingerstyle guitar, Jorma and his wife Vanessa Lillian operate one of the world’s most unique centers for the study of guitar and other instruments. Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch Guitar Camp is located on 125 acres of fields, woods, hills, and streams in the Appalachian foothills of Southeastern Ohio. Since it opened in 1998, thousands of musicians whose skills range from basic to highly accomplished gather for weekends of master instruction offered by Jorma and other instructors who are leaders in their musical fields. A multitude of renowned performers make the trek to Ohio to teach at Fur Peace Ranch and play at the performance hall, Fur Peace Station. It has become an important stop on the touring circuit for artists who do not normally play intimate 200-seat venues, bringing such artists as David Bromberg, Roger McGuinn, Arlo Guthrie, Dave Alvin, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Warren Haynes, Lee Roy Parnell, Chris Hillman and more. Students, instructors, and visiting artists alike welcome the peace and tranquility — as well as the great music and great instruction — that Fur Peace Ranch offers.
At Fur Peace Ranch the Kaukonens have created the Psylodelic Gallery, a museum in a silo, celebrating the music, art, culture, and literature of the 1960’s, tracing important events and movements of the psychedelic era. They produce concerts at the Fur Peace Station which are
streamed internationally on YouTube as well as broadcast on WOUB 91.3 FM. The Kaukonens there support their local community through art festivals and a restaurant on site.
Jorma Kaukonen is constantly looking to take his musical horizons further still, always moving forward and he is quick to say that teaching is among the most rewarding aspects of his career. “You just can’t go backward. The arrow of time only goes in one direction.”

Legendary guitarist at a legendary Portland concert venue, plus winning tickets leaves some cash for food and drink at the show.
What an amazing artist! I would love to get the chance to see him.
One ticket makes you larger
And having no ticket makes you small
And the ones that PDX gives you
Are the best tickets of them all.
Go ask Alice
and dance like your ten feet tall
What’s that smell like Hot Tuna oh mama?
Some tix would truck my blues away…
Love some hot Jorma pickin’!
It would be an absolute dream come true to see Jorma sing one of my all time favorite songs live in person (Bowlegged Woman)!

One of my favorite performer.
What an excellent lineup! I saw Jorma years ago. He is so talented, as are all of the other musicians playing that night.
Oh man, Jorma is truly an American treasure. Any chance to see him play is cherished and I would be honored to go to this show!
How exciting, I’m into Jorma’s music 🎶 and would enjoy seeing him in person.
As part of my Embryonic Guitar Journey, in the late 90s I went to see Jorma & Jack play as Hot Tuna Acoustic at the Backstage (RIP), a small Seattle basement club. Sitting a few feet from them, I was enthralled by their musical wizardry. After they finished, I walked up & asked Jorma if he ever gave guitar lessons. He was so friendly, and said “You could come to a workshop at our ranch in Ohio, where I teach.” Haven’t made it there yet, but would love to see him in Portland, my new adopted hometown.
Jam city USA
Awesome jams! I want some!
