About Me

FIRST, LET ME TELL YOU THAT JORMA DOES NOT CHECK E-MAILS FROM THIS PAGE, THIS WAS SET UP BY A STUDENT AND FRIEND OF THE FUR PEACE RANCH. MOST INFORMATION IS GATHERED FROM THE FUR PEACE RANCH HOMEPAGE. YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT THE FUR PEACE RANCH AND FUR PEACE STATION AT:

WWW.FURPEACERANCH.COM.
The Fur Peace Station was born to the parents of the Fur Peace Ranch in 2002. Jorma & Vanessa Kaukonen, the Fur Peace Ranch owners, nestled their Fur Peace Guitar Camp in the rolling foothills of southeast Ohio. A seasonal instructional facility, year round restaurant, and conference center, The Fur Peace Ranch is a unique destination - a place to better explore the potential of your favorite instrument and to learn from and listen to some great musicians.

In 1998 they opened the doors of the ranch to students and national recording artists who came from all over the US and abroad to teach guitar, bass, keyboard, percussion, guitar repair, songwriting, voice, harmonica, music management, promotion and more. With musicians such as Jorma Kaukonen & Jack Casady (the original Hot Tuna), Michael Falzarano, G.E. Smith (from the Saturday Night Live Orchestra), Roy Book Binder, Jonathan Edwards, Merl Saunders, Peter Rowan, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Guy Clark, Tommy Emmanuel, John Hammond, Chris Smither, Kelly Joe Phelps, Cindy Cashdollar , Rory Block, Guy Davis, Duke Robillard and more, the Kaukonen's had this idea to include a Saturday night performance included in the workshops they offered. It became so popular the series soon outgrew the small but intimate space at the ranch reserved for these concerts, with shows selling out within days of their announcement. The warm reception was further exemplified when the local NPR Radio Affiliate (WOUB-FM 91.3) expressed interest in recording the concerts for regional distribution, which brought the sounds of the Fur Peace Ranch into the living rooms of music aficionado's throughout the region through a radio program called "Live From The Fur Peace Ranch". By posting these concerts on the Internet in a digital format, the music soon spanned across the entire globe.

Ticket sales exploded and it soon became evident a larger concert hall was needed, and in the spring of 2002, final touches were put on the 200-seat Fur Peace Station Concert Hall, an acoustic wonder designed for the ultimate sound and comfort. Jorma and Jack christened the new stage to a sold out crowd in early March and successive shows have drawn crowds from all reaches of the globe.
