No one has more consistently led American music for the last 50 years than Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, the founders of Hot Tuna – which started as a side project during their Jefferson Airplane days. The band members, who were honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards at the 2016 GRAMMY® Awards, perform with a well-honed and solid power, always in the groove from their years of experience and mutual inspiration. Three-time GRAMMY® Award winner Justin Guip lets the song dictate his drumming style. That beat provides the perfect dynamic for Hot Tuna to electrify their trademark sound.

Chan Marshall’s latest covers album as Cat Power arrives, as all of her music does, at just the perfect time. Covers is a deeply felt, intimate, and altogether holistic collection of songs intended as a healing salve for the artist and listener alike, showcasing Marshall’s singular chronicling of the ever-evolving great American songbook. Self-produced and featuring renditions of classic songs from artists like Jackson Browne, the Replacements, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Billie Holiday, and the Cat Power catalog itself, Covers is at once a reminder of Marshall’s artistically intuitive power and the latest chapter in a truly illustrious career.
With a catalogue of songwriting that’s unparalleled in the worlds of indie rock and American music at large—spanning several decades and ten studio albums—Marshall’s work at Cat Power has defied genre and convention, her legacy rippling through the work of a wide range of contemporary musical luminaries ranging from Lana Del Rey, Clairo, and Soccer Mommy to Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Angel Olsen. There’s a rawness and immediacy to Marshall’s music that has stood the test of time, with every new musical missive from her as essential as what’s come before it.

A career spanning twenty-five years has brought this Canadian guitarist multiple accolades including a coveted Acoustic Guitar Magazine ‘Player’s Choice Silver Award’, eleven Juno Award nominations (he won for 2001’s ‘Free Fall’), a Gemini Award and, most impressively, ten platinum and gold studio albums.
Moreover, he has sold out concert halls the world over, produced five PBS television specials and five live CD’s. Not a bad legacy for a guy who never planned to release an album.
“If you had asked me at age 22, I would have said that I would never, never make music for the public,” Jesse Cook says with a laugh. “I would have told you that the public is much too fickle — they may love you one minute and forget you the next. Well, it turns out I did the thing I said I’d never do, and somehow it’s worked out.”
That’s an understatement. Since launching his career with 1995’s Tempest, Cook has blazed an incredible trail. Along with being a global-guitar virtuoso, he’s honed his skills as a composer, producer, arranger, performer and, more recently, filmmaker and cultural ambassador. Surprisingly, he started down many of those paths before he even started school.
So, Cook got to work producing 23 (and counting) extraordinary solo YouTube videos of his favourite songs in which he played all the instruments, recorded, and filmed himself. The collection is called “Love in the Time of Covid” Not only have they pleased his existing fan base but this YouTube video collection has expanded his worldwide audience who are now craving that soon to be announced world tour.
Jesse Cook, clearly, has many more years of memorable performances ahead of him.

Amos Lee
Amos Lee creates the rare kind of music that’s emotionally raw yet touched with a certain magical quality. The artist emerged in the mid-2000s, balancing his love of classic singer-songwriter folk with blues, country, and ’70s-style R&B. Drawing upon an array of influences, including Bob Dylan, Bill Withers, John Prine, and Otis Redding, Lee garnered critical praise and chart success with albums like his eponymous 2001 Blue Note debut and 2011’s Mission Bell, the latter of which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
While Dylanesque folk remains his creative touchstone, Lee has branched out over time, delving into orchestral pop and exploring both vintage and contemporary R&B textures. On his eighth album, Dreamland, released in February 2022, the Philadelphia-born singer-songwriter intimately documents his real-world struggles (alienation, anxiety, loneliness, despair), an outpouring born from deliberate and often painful self-examination.
With his laid-back vocal delivery and earthy acoustic sound, Lee has toured as an opening act for numerous notable artists, including Norah Jones, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, Paul Simon, Merle Haggard, Van Morrisson, John Prine, Dave Matthews Band, Adele, Jack Johnson, and David Gray, among others. He has also performed as a featured artist on the PBS series Bluegrass Underground, as well as on several late-night TV shows. In addition, his music has appeared on the soundtracks of various TV shows and movies.
Neal Francis
Prior to launching his solo career, Chicago singer-songwriter-pianist Neal Francis cut his teeth at a young age first as a blues sideman, then as a member of a promising funk ensemble, The Heard. He later developed a retro-driven style, blending classic R&B with New Orleans rhythms, blues, and a healthy dose of early-’70s rock, launching a solo career with his 2019 debut album, Changes. The album landed on best-of-the-year lists from the likes of KCRW, KEXP, and The Current. Along with earning lavish acclaim, Changes led to such triumphs as performing live on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic, sharing the stage with members of The Meters at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, and touring with such acts as Lee Fields & The Expressions and Black Pumas.
Two years later, he released his sophomore effort, In Plain Sight, mixed by GRAMMY® Award-winner Dave Fridmann. On his new album, Francis offers up a body of work both strangely enchanted and painfully self-aware, unfolding in songs sparked from Greek myths and frenzied dreams and late-night drives in the depths of summer delirium. True to its charmed complexity, the artist’s second full-length came to life over the course of a tumultuous year spent living in a possibly haunted church in Chicago. The result: a portrait of profound upheaval and weary resilience, presented in a kaleidoscopic sound that’s endlessly absorbing.

With hits like “Passionate Kisses” and “He Thinks He’ll Keep Her,” Mary Chapin Carpenter has won five Grammy Awards (with 16 nominations), two CMA awards, two Academy of Country Music awards and is one of only fifteen female members of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Over the course of her acclaimed career, Carpenter has sold over 16 million records. In 2020, Carpenter recorded two albums – “The Dirt And The Stars,” released in August 2020, and “One Night Lonely,” recorded live without an audience at the legendary Filene Center at Wolf Trap in Virginia during the COVID-19 shut down, and nominated for “Best Folk Album” at the 64th Grammy Awards in 2022.
Of the new album “The Dirt And The Stars,” produced by Ethan Johns (Ray LaMontagne, Paul McCartney, Kings of Leon) and recorded entirely live at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios in Bath in southwest England, Carpenter quotes the writer Margaret Renkl, “ ‘We are all in the process of becoming.’ That doesn’t stop at a certain age. To be always a student of art and music and life, as she says, that, to me, is what makes life worth living. The songs are very personal and they’re difficult in some ways, and definitely come from places of pain and self-illumination, but also places of joy, discovery and the rewards of self- knowledge. They arrived from looking outward as much as inward, speaking to life changes, growing older, politics, compassion, #metoo, heartbreak, empathy, the power of memory, time and place. There are many themes, but they all come back to that initial truth that we are all constantly ‘becoming’ through art and expression.”
With special guest John Craigie

Renowned for his eloquent Americana style, engaging live shows, and off-the-cuff clever observations, John Craigie carries on the legacy of classic folk singers while blazing a trail of his own. Hailed as a “Modern-Day Troubadour” in the style of Woody Guthrie and Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, Craigie has travelled extensively throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. He has performed with or opened for numerous well-known artists, including Jack Johnson, Shawn Colvin, and Sean Hayes, among many others, and sold out shows across the country. Captivating anecdotes from the road have endeared Craigie to the devoted fans he has earned, song by song, show by show, since 2009. The artist has a degree in mathematics and also went through a self-described “hippie phase” while in college. When you learn that, it becomes easier to wrap your head around the title of his 2020 album. Asterisk the Universe finds Craigie sharing his clever observations and humorous stories with a score of smoked-out soul, tender folk, and American songbook eloquence.
