Robbin Ford, Jorma Kaukonen and Ruthie Foster brought the blues to Beaver Creek via the guitar.

Ruthie Foster opened the show with a great mix of country and gosple songs.

I like this pic, turns out the Tour Manager as excited with me being side stage

Jorma Kaukonen playing the acoustic guitar

Jorma was one of the founding members of Jefferson Airplane

Also a founding member and still touring with Hot Tuna

Jorma looked to be playing with his thumps

After a quick setbreak we were treated to some Rock-N-Roll

This is what I came for Electric Jorma!

They even had a drummer and bass player come out to get the place rocking

I really need to learn how to play guitar, like yesterday...

I love the sound 3 guitars can make, 4 if you count the bass

Couple more pics,

Does the watermark with my name take away from the pics? Trying to get my name out there

What a special night, mellow at first then the kicked it up a notch

Thanks to the Jorma and his crew for allowing me to shoot photos as well as the Vilar Center Staff - Gena, Larry and the FOH Manager. I had a blast as always in one of my favorite concert venues in the country.
