# Event Details - **Event Name**: Hot Tuna Acoustic With Special Guest Ross Garren - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 31 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 pm - **Event Description**: Hot Tuna: For over 50 years Hot Tuna, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, have brought a wealth of emotions to their music through deep perceptions and tremendous talent. Members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Grammy recipients, they are always injecting fresh energy into their sound with constant improvisation taking their musical horizons further. Guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Casady were also at the heart of Jefferson Airplane, another iconic group with roots in the 1960s. Over the past five decades, they've released more than two dozen records as a band and many more solo projects. Long considered one of rock’s first bass heroes, Jack Casady has been thumping and plucking four-strings in front of audiences since the mid ‘60s. Casady's creativity is evidenced by his continually evolving bass solos in his extensive library of songs and live performances and at 81 years of age, Kaukonen remains at the apex of his skills, captivatingly singing in a husky voice and humbly yet proficiently playing blues licks that rival the iconic leads of many blues rock masters. Together, they are well-seasoned musicians and musical treasures. To some fans, Hot Tuna is a reminder of wild and happy times. To others, the name will forever be linked to their own discovery of the power and depth of American Blues music. To newer fans, Hot Tuna is a band that is on the cutting edge of music. This past October, Jefferson Airplane were given their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the ceremony of which was attended by the band’s sole surviving members: Casady, Kaukonen, and Grace Slick. Fittingly, the star is located right in front of Musician’s Institute. Hot Tuna remains one of the most innovative Rock and Roll bands in American music. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/port-chester/hot-tuna-acoustic-with-special-guest-ross-garren/200030120450344 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, live-music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 51 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Port Chester - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: The Capitol Theatre - **lat**: 41.001439605047 - **long**: -73.665167183831 - **full address**: The Capitol Theatre, 149 Westchester Ave,Port Chester, New York, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Hot Tuna Acoustic With Special Guest Ross Garren - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/905bef885dcafa957a9fc21f26184b86f787ee83317e8f83fab7dc3f718639df-rimg-w1200-h628-dc130707-gmir?v=1784974868 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Hot Tuna Acoustic With Special Guest Ross Garren being held? - **A:** Hot Tuna Acoustic With Special Guest Ross Garren takes place on Fri, 31 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Fri, 31 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 pm at The Capitol Theatre, 149 Westchester Ave,Port Chester, New York, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Hot Tuna Acoustic With Special Guest Ross Garren ? - **A:** Hot Tuna Acoustic With Special Guest Ross Garren is organized by The Capitol Theatre. - **Q**: Who is this event for?

The open letter to Port Chester residents published in the newspaper that week boasted that it would contain “the only theater refrigerating system in Westchester County.” The grand opening, which included a performance of “The Star Spangled Banner” by a ten-piece orchestra and a showing of Sea Wolf, sold out all of its seats (then 2,000), and had to turn hundreds away.\n\nPeople traveled from near and far to see shows at The Capitol. Hollywood kept the theater going for decades with films like Casablanca, Gone with the Wind and The Taming of the Shrew. Enthusiasts could pay as little as 5 cents to see a double-feature Sunday matinee.\n\n1970s: ROCK AND ROLL\nBy the late ’60s, the tone had changed. Movies were out and live music was in. The theater was renovated as a psychedelic performance space, and it hosted just about every major rock and roll act of that time period. Under the direction of rock promoter Howard Stein, the likes of Janis Joplin, Traffic, Pink Floyd and the Grateful Dead all graced the Port Chester stage during its heyday. By the early ’70s, however, the theater was shut down due to a new village ordinance that prohibited live entertainment after 1 a.m. It was at this time that Mother Nature became the sole owner of The Capitol Theatre. The roof decayed, and pigeons made the stage their new home. The theater remained dark until the early ’80s.\n\n1983: CHANGING HANDS\nIn 1983, The Capitol Theatre was purchased by local developer Marvin Ravikoff and a new round of renovations began. On Wednesday, March 7, 1984, The Capitol Theatre was open for business again. Only a quarter of the theater was filled for its grand opening performance of Misalliance that night, but Ravikoff had no doubt the revived theater would be a success. In 1984, The Capitol Theatre was added to the National Register of Historic Places.\n\nThe Capitol Theatre was mainly used to put on plays and musicals during the mid-’80s, and it underwent continuous renovations for several years. There was a brief resurgence of rock concerts in the early ’90s when well-known acts like Phish and Blues Traveler visited the Port Chester stage. However, due to the poor economy at the time, it was difficult for any theater to thrive, and the small size of The Capitol no longer appealed to top-name entertainment. Ravikoff turned in a different direction and hoped to attract conventions and seminars instead. Eventually, the idea to turn the theater into a catering hall for weddings and formal events came about.\n\n1997: CATERING HALL\nSince 1997, the theater has hosted special events ranging from fund-raisers to bar mitzvahs. Removing the seats from the main floor allowed the theater to be transformed into a dance floor for weddings or a dining area for corporate blowouts. The Capitol’s stage made it unlike any other catering hall, and it lent itself to private performances from acts like Hootie and the Blowfish and Katy Perry.\n\nIn December 2011, Peter Shapiro announced that The Capitol Theatre would reopen with him at the helm, and the venue began yet a third round of serious renovations. Previously the owner of the legendary Wetlands Preserve in Manhattan and currently the owner of the Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg, Shapiro has no shortage of experience when it comes to running successful live music venues. He planned to breathe new life into the historical theater—with state-of-the-art light, sound and video systems, and new carpets, repainted walls and upgraded bathrooms.\n\nThe Capitol Theatre, partnered with concert promoter The Bowery Presents, reopened in September 2012 as Westchester’s new premier rock palace." } ] } ] ```
