In
a career that has already spanned a half-century, Jorma remains one of the most highly respected interpreters of American roots music, blues, and Americana with a history that influenced popular rock-and-roll. Ain’t In No Hurry is a collection of Jorma originals, blues, rockers and classic American songs, including Woody Guthrie lyrics set to music on a new song by by Jorma and Larry Campbell.
A
member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a Grammy nominee as well as one of Rolling Stone’s “Top 100 Guitarists of All Time,” he is a founding member of two legendary bands, Jefferson Airplane and the still-touring Hot Tuna, and is recognized as one of the leading practitioners and teachers of finger-style guitar. Jorma’s renown goes far beyond his involvement creating psychedelic rock; he is a music legend and one of the finest singer-songwriters in music. He’s also an avid motorcyclist, a gallery owner (the Psylodelic Gallery, dedicated to the arts and culture of the 1960s arts) and co-owner of the Fur Peace Ranch, an Ohio-based concert venue and guitar center where Jorma conducts workshops, bringing in such guitar masters as G.E. Smith and Larry Campbell. There’s a new documentary film about the ranch, “Fur Peace Ranch: It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This.”
2015
will see Jorma on the road playing both solo shows and Hot Tuna dates with high school friend and JA and Hot Tuna bandmate Jack Cassidy.
