Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady have been making music together since they were teenagers.

Founders of Jefferson Airplane and spinoff group Hot Tuna, the pair made waves in the blues and bluegrass scene throughout the 1970s. They have since shifted to a more intimate, acoustic style.

Hot Tuna played Dakota Jazz Club Monday night as part of their summer tour.

Jorma and Jack joined The Daily Circuit in studio to talk about their tour and what's to come.
