Jefferson Starship Will Perform In Sarasota On New Year's Eve

The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall is thrilled to welcome Jefferson Starship for the band's Sarasota show on Friday, December 31 at 8 p.m.

Jefferson Starship is one of the most successful arena rock groups of the 70's and 80's. The group has earned three platinum and eight gold records and has numerous Top 40 singles including "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," "We Built This City," "Sara," and "Jane."

As they approach their 50th anniversary, Jefferson Starship continues to bring audiences to their feet with the Mother of the Sun Tour.

In addition to original member David Freiberg, the band includes drummer Donny Baldwin (whose Jefferson Starship roots go back to 1982), keyboardist Chris Smith (who joined in 1998), guitarist Jude Gold (who joined in 2012), and singer and guitarist Cathy Richardson who joined in 2008, after founding member Paul Kantner saw her tour with Big Brother and the Holding Company.
