Nearly 60 years after it was recorded, a reel to reel tape of a young Jorma Kaukonen was discovered in storage, found by his wife, Vanessa. The 1965 tape captures Jorma’s fingerpicking style preserved on a reel-to-reel. That lost performance is now seeing the light of day as "Wabash Avenue," a reminder that great music never really disappears. It just waits to be heard again.
This April, experience Jorma Kaukonen--founding member of Jefferson Airplane and co-founder of Hot Tuna--perform a legacy concert at The Church Studio. Tickets here: https://buff.ly/Ly3wBed
