Jorma Kaukonen

Narrows Center for the Arts 16 Anawan St., Fall River, MA

Wenesday, August 21, 2024 Doors 7pm | Show 8pm In a career that has already spanned a half-century, Jorma Kaukonen has been one of the most highly respected interpreters of American roots music, blues, and rock. A member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a Grammy recipient, Jorma was at the forefront of popular rock and roll, one of the founders of the San Francisco sound and a progenitor of Psychedelic Rock. He is a founding member of two legendary bands, Jefferson Airplane and the still-touring Hot Tuna. Jorma Kaukonen is a music legend and one of the finest singer-songwriters in his field. He continues to tour the world bringing his unique styling to old blues tunes while presenting new songs of weight and dimension. His secret is in playing spontaneous and unfiltered music, with an individual expression of personality. In 2016, Jorma, Jack Casady and the other members of Jefferson Airplane were awarded The GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award for their contributions to American music.

Bridge to Bridge

Chris Page will talk about his 8-month artist project exploring the Taunton River. Driving from bridge to bridge from the headwaters in Bridgewater to Fall River, Chris Page photographed upstream and downstream at every bridge capturing upwellings, vortexes and the patterns that emerge from flowing water. In his studio, he transformed his experiences of the water into paintings, drawings and photographic collections. His observations led to the creation of ‘Titicut Constellations’ a vertical 7.5-foot painting with origins in the oxygen bubbles that form constellations flowing along the river conjuring images of star formations in the cosmos. The Fall River Arts and Culture Coalition (FRACC) is excited to support this event through our Ignition Project, made possible by the TDI Creative Catalyst Grant Program, administered by MassDevelopment and funded by the Barr Foundation.
