Jefferson Starship, a collaboration of celebrated musicians that plays from the rich songbook of its legendary forefathers Jefferson Airplane, prevails as one of the most critically acclaimed touring acts today. Steeped in the fantastic realms of science fiction and the contemporary American shadow land, Jefferson Starship features a stellar cast of old and new players, including Paul Kantner, Marty Balin and Jack Casady, all of whom were crucial in developing the renowned "San Francisco Sound" that changed the course of pop music forever.
The band's initial release, "Dragonfly," spawned the rock radio staples "Ride the Tiger" and "Caroline," both penned by Kantner. The band's breakthrough album came a year later with "Red Octopus," which featured the hit single "Miracles" and catapulted the group to the top of Billboard's album chart four separate times in 1975. The band's subsequent releases – "Spitfire" (1976), "Earth" (1978), "Freedom at Point Zero" (1979), "Winds of Change" (1981), and "Nuclear Furniture" (1983), – generated the hits "With Your Love," "St. Charles," "Count on Me," "Runaway" and "Jane."
Balin left the group in 1979 to pursue a solo career. His 1980 debut release, "Balin," yielded the hit "Hearts." In 1983, Kantner released his second solo album, "Planet Earth Rock & Roll Orchestra". The next year, Kantner departed from Jefferson Starship to work on his own projects.
In 1989, Kantner briefly reunited with Jefferson Airplane, a much-anticipated project that resulted in an album, "Jefferson Airplane," and a summer tour. Two years later, Kantner was back on the road with a stripped-down, acoustic ensemble called Paul Kantner's Wooden Ships, a trio that included Aguilar and Gorman from the KBC BAND. In addition to his classic songs, Kantner and his group performed new material which received resounding praise. The success of this project prompted Kantner to reinvent his electric band and Jefferson Starship took off once again. In addition to Aguilar and Gorman, Kantner recruited former collaborators Casady and the late blues violin master Papa John Creach; former Tubes drummer Prairie Prince; and former World Entertainment War vocalist Darby Gould. Shortly after the band's rebirth, Marty Balin rejoined Jefferson Starship, ending a 15-year hiatus from the group.
In 1995, Jefferson Starship headlined a tribute to the at Hollywood's House of Blues, broadcast nationally on the CBS Radio Network Concert Series. With very special guest Grace Slick (in her last live performance to date), they debuted new material, together with timeless classics, comprising the 1995 release "Deep Space/Virgin Sky."
In 1996 Kantner, Balin & Casady were inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame as part of Jefferson Airplane. Since reforming, Jefferson Starship has performed more than 500 concerts in 16 countries.
