There are concerts. And then there are concerts. Standing close to the makeshift stage as guitar slinger Vernon Reid cranked away is one of those memorable moments. Reid was one of several special guests to appear during the D’Addario NYXL string party held at Guitar Center in Carle Place, New York. (Photo: Own Work – 2015)

Always energized and never passé, Hot Tuna, acoustic as well as electric, has endless musicianship and volume that just keeps on giving. Driven by Jorma’s fretwork and Jack’s bass-line prowess, Jefferson Airplane and 1967’s “Summer Of Love” would have sounded different without the Tuna duo in the influential San Francisco-based band. It was eventually called Jefferson Starship. Hot Tuna is blues and rock history. (Photo: Own Work – 2019)

Whether it was recording with David Bowie, John Lennon, Mott The Hoople’s Ian Hunter or several well-known others, Earl Slick has always had a unique electric guitar tone. Slick’s one-of-a-kind sound sears with a timeless quality. The typically sunglass-decked guitar great made a special guest appearance during D’Addario’s NYXL string party at Guitar Center.
