Jefferson Starship

Legendary rock group Jefferson Starship formed in the early 1970s after the dissolution of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band Jefferson Airplane. During this transitional period, Paul Kantner, a founding member of Jefferson Airplane, recorded Blows Against the Empire, a concept album featuring an ad hoc group of musicians that he dubbed “Jefferson Starship”, marking the first use of the name. This inaugural edition of Jefferson Starship included members of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (David Crosby and Graham Nash) and members of Grateful Dead (Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, and Mickey Hart), as well as some of the remaining members of Jefferson Airplane (Grace Slick, Marty Balin, Joey Covington, and Jack Casady). The band has undergone several major changes in personnel and genres through the years while retaining the same Jefferson Starship name. The current group, led by Kantner, more closely resembles its original mix of psychedelic and electric folk music than the pop-driven tunes it was widely known for in the early to mid-1980s.
