SoundSwap: 'Reverend Jefferson' Performs the Music of Jefferson Airplane Live
Join us for a psychedelic SoundSwap event featuring Reverend Jefferson playing the music of Jefferson Airplane!
Jefferson Airplane's music originated from San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury hippie community of the late 1960's, but it soon evolved into a sound which at once reflected that era's psychedelic ethos while virtually capturing the rapidly expanding revolutionary fervor of the times. When Grace Slick joined the band in 1967, her beautifully soaring harmonies, blending flawlessly with the voices of bandmates Paul Kantner & Marty Balin, became the foundation of the Airplane's sound; a sound which soon wound its way deep into the consciousness of the American psyche where it's remained for generations.
Reverend Jefferson was formed by longtime rabid Airplane fans who have conspired to create a musical labor of love.
With full soaring 3-part vocal harmonies and improvisational jams that range from the thunderously powerful to the psychedelically exploratory, Reverend Jefferson delivers the music of Jefferson Airplane like no other. Fly Reverend Jefferson - they'll get you there on time.
