JEFFERSON STARSHIP
Runaway Again Tour
with Special Guests Pure Prairie League and Firefall

Jefferson Starship is one of the most successful arena rock bands of the ’70s and ’80s, earning 3 platinum and 8 gold records, as well as numerous Top 40 Billboard singles. Having surpassed a 50-year legacy, the band stands among a rare group whose impact continues to endure.
Founded by Paul Kantner in the ’70s, Jefferson Starship was conceived as a collective of musical adventurers contributing to his epic concept albums and eventual catalog of rock classics. When the current lineup came together in 2012, with many members having joined years earlier, Kantner couldn’t have predicted the band would become the road-conquering force they are today.
The five members of Jefferson Starship often describe themselves as both a “family” and a”gang,” and this sense of camaraderie shines through in their performances. Over the years, they’ve played in all 50 U.S. states, five continents, and countless countries. A recent tourofNew Zealand was noted as one of the band’s favorites, and their live shows continue to offer a non-stop mix of rock hits.
The band’s current lineup includes founding member David Freiberg, drummer Donny Baldwin (who first joined in 1982), keyboardist Chris Smith (who joined in 1998), guitarist Jude Gold(who joined in 2012), and singer/guitarist Cathy Richardson (who joined in 2008 after Kantnersaw her perform with Big Brother and the Holding Company).
As Jefferson Starshipforges aheadinto thefuture,the band reflects on the legacy of Paul Kantner, who passed away in 2016. The spirit of exploration and adventure he instilled in the band lives on in their music and performances. As Gold puts it, “Tome, that ‘Paul Kantner thing’—getting on a rocket ship and blasting off into the unknown—is the very essence of Jefferson Starship. And that spirit is very much alive in the band today.”
