Hot Tuna

Hot Tuna was an American psychedelic rock band, formed by Jack Casady[?] and Jorma Kaukonen[?] as an acoustic spin-off of Jefferson Airplane. Their original name was Hot Shit. Casady and Kaukonen added Will Scarlet[?] on harmonica and recorded 1970's Hot Tuna[?], which was followed by a long-series of well-received albums that played only to a small and devoted cult following. They are often considered a forerunner of modern jam bands like Phish or Dave Matthews Band.
