Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

King of the Hill

If there were a Mount Rushmore for guitar players, Jorma Kaukonen’s visage could rightly be chiseled into the side of the earth alongside the likes of Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King and Eric Clapton. A founding member of the legendary (and still-active) band Hot Tuna, as well as Jefferson Airplane — with whom he was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — Jorma is nothing short of a guitar god. This Saturday, he’ll grace the stage at the Tupelo Music Hall in White River Junction.
