Then drummer Justin Guip will turn up the volume for an Electric Hot Tuna Trio experience to finish the first set.
The second half of Friday night will be Tuna evolved, a full Electric Hot Tuna set with drummer Justin Guip and “the first couple of Americana" (Mojo), Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams!
