December 9 & 10, 2011 Hot Tuna and Friends Beacon Theatre, NYC, NY

December 9 & 10, 2011 Hot Tuna and Friends Beacon Theatre, NYC, NY It's been an amazing year! Hot Tuna celebrates with friends Charlie Musselwhite, GE Smith, David Bromberg, Steve Kimock, Larry Campbell, and Teresa Williams at the Beacon Theatre.   Hot Tuna, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, returns to the Beacon Theatre for two nights on December 9 and 10, 2011 to celebrate the music and the fun sparked off by the release of Steady As She Goes, their first studio album in 20 years. Larry Campbell, Teresa Williams, David Bromberg, Charlie Musselwhite, GE Smith and Steve Kimock will join electric Hot Tuna with band members extrordinaire Barry Mitterhoff and Skoota Warner for the 8 p.m. shows. The Beacon is at 2124 Broadway, New York City. For tickets and more information: www.beacon.theatre-ny.com. Founding members Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady masterfully blend Americana rock with blues and acoustic folk on a record that hits their full spectrum of styles from electric and acoustic Hot Tuna to their days in Jefferson Airplane. Reaching a zenith of their historic career, Steady As She Goes is an absolute masterpiece and this show will tell it all! During their more than four decade long career Jorma and Jack have created some of the most significant music of our time and Steady As She Goes shows that they remain one of the most innovative bands in American music. Recorded at Levon Helm's studio and produced by Grammy-winning producer Larry Campbell, the album captures the energy of their live performances with Barry Mitterhoff on mandolin, and drummer Skoota Warner (Cyndi Lauper, Matisyahu, Santana).                         Steady As She Goes Collaborators                   Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams Steady As She Goes collaborators, producer and multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell and vocalist Teresa Williams, will join Hot Tuna at the Beacon Theatre.  Larry's playing skill and ability to lend his talents in the form of different instruments gives the Tuna performance an added, fifth dimension.  Teresa's vocals are beautiful, soulful and emotional, but beware she can reach down deep and pack a wallop when its called for.  When she and Larry performed at the Ranch this spring Teresa just 'bout tore the roof off of the Station!  If you haven't seen Larry and Teresa on stage with Hot Tuna, you owe it to yourself to do so!  Just ask anyone who has! They will be recreating Steady As She Goes in its entirety at some point during the two-night stand. Charlie Musselwhite Helping them celebrate at the Beacon will be special guest, Charlie Musselwhite, master of the harmonica, who toured along with Hot Tuna and Jim Lauderdale earlier this year on the Hot Tuna Blues Tour.  Charlie's talented harmonica playing and history steeped in the blues is a perfect blend to the Hot Tuna being served!  So if you missed Charlie with Tuna earlier this year. Now is your chance.                                                Steve Kimock Steve Kimock, who has earned a living wowing all kinds of audiences with his extraordinary guitar abilities, will also be joining the guys for the weekend. Steve adds a new element to the Tuna stew with his wide range of playing styles that can progress from jazz-influenced rhythms to Roky Erikson (13th Floor Elevators) styled psychedelic leads. GE Smith GE Smith has to be one of the most sought after session players around. He  has performed and recorded with an exceptionally wide spectrum of influential artists from Bob Dylan, Eddie Van Halen, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Rickie Lee Jones, Al Green, Bryan Ferry, David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Lonnie Mack and a host of other great musicians.                                                                     David Bromberg David Bromberg, often referred to as the guitarist's guitarist, will be joining Hot Tuna at the Beacon too!  Jorma and David find themselves performing together a few times each year, and their roots run deep.  It will be interesting to see if he comes acoustic or electric . . . only one way to find out!
