The Center for the Arts
Genre: Blues, Folk, Rock Jorma Kaukonen is one of the most highly respected interpreters of American roots music, blues, and rock — a career spanning more than half a century. A founding member of Jefferson Airplane and the still-touring Hot Tuna, he was at the forefront of the San Francisco sound and a progenitor of Psychedelic Rock. A member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a Grammy recipient, Jorma's legacy was further honored in 2016 when he, Jack Casady, and the other members of Jefferson Airplane received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for their contributions to American music. Across decades of recording and touring, Jorma Kaukonen has remained one of the finest singer-songwriters in his field — bringing his unique styling to old blues tunes while presenting new songs of weight and dimension. His music is spontaneous and unfiltered, driven by an individual expression of personality that has made him a legend in American music.

If you're a new volunteer, please come 15 minutes early and ask for the House Manager so we can give you a quick orientation to your duties for the event. When you arrive at the Center (314 W. Main Street, Grass Valley) enter through the front lobby doors and check in at the volunteer table in the gallery.
