"The renaissance man," Justin Guip is one of the most flexible, chameleon-like drummers I have ever worked with," says Jorma. Justin can switch from style to style with authority. He's got the chops, the groove and most importantly the heart to be called Hot Tuna's drummer.

"Passionate, eloquent, and spilling over with regal harmonies," says (Uncut) of the recently released Red House RecordsLarry Campbell and Teresa Williams CD. And they are right! Larry and Teresa add a depth and dimension to the Electric Hot Tuna band sound that soars off the stage.

With Kaukonen's inventive finger-picking guitar work and Casady's full-driving bass lines, Hot Tuna delivers soulful music bursting with creative energy.
