All Them Witches @ Back Room At Colectivo
Nov 18 @ 8:00 pm – 11:00 pm

allthemwitchesFrom their earliest days, there has a been a current in All Them Witches’ music that has come from outside the continuum of our collective perceptions. On 2013’s Lightning at the Door they drew a bigger chalk circle in the center of the crossroads and conjured a haunting occult- blues. On 2015’s New West Records debut Dying Surfer Meets His Maker, they dove the depths of oceanic canyons and surfaced with a shining psychedelia. There latest album, Sleeping Through The War is the next step in that progression – big fuzz, deep grooves, cosmic vision.

interview: Jack Casady
Nov 22 @ 4:00 pm – 4:30 pm

Tune in as Sonia catches up with Jack Casady before Hot Tuna plays Milwaukee’s Turner Hall Ballroom on Sunday, December 15th. Only on WMSE! 91.7 FM or WMSE.org to listen.

Hot Tuna (also the name of an Ozzie surf brand randomly) is made up of co-founders and continuing core members Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, a duo with a unique combination of blues, jazz, bluegrass & folk influences. They’ve been making music together for fifty years, playing together as teenagers and later in the iconic ’60s band The Jefferson Airplane, where Kaukonen played lead guitar and Casady was on bass.

Hot Tuna developed as a side project of Jefferson Airplane, often supporting the band on tour, until the lates 1960s and early 70s when their following was established enough to warrant a tour and album of their own. In 1972 they released their first studio record (Burgers) followed a year later by the elegantly named ‘The Phosphorescent Rat.’ Five more albums followed, though fans had to endure a 21-year wait between the fourth and most recent fifth album, ‘Steady as She Goes’ (2011). Catch them when they hit a town near you!
