Vahe Sarkissian

Vahe Sarkissian is a Philly-based guitarist who performs Middle-Eastern fusion in the context of rock, funk, and jazz, along with a 2 handed-tapping style of guitar influenced by Stanley Jordan. This can be heard on his most recent album, “Curcuna.” He performed/worked with Earl Slick (John Lennon, David Bowie), Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Deep Purple, KISS), Gerald Veasley, Keiko Matsui, in addition to opening up for artists such as Victor Wooten, Slash (Guns N’ Roses), Shinedown, The Roots, Greg Howe, Greg Koch, and Ritchie Kotzen (Poison). The early part of his career began at the age of 14 when he traveled the U.S. to play Middle Eastern music. Soon after, he received his Master’s from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where he studied with Jazz virtuoso’s Pat Martino and Jimmy Bruno. He performs with Countdown to Ecstasy (Steely Dan Tribute), A Night of Stardust (David Bowie Tribute), and as a freelancer in various settings.

Not Tuna

NOT TUNA is a tribute band dedicated to the music of Hot Tuna and Jefferson Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Casady. Not Tuna performs their classic songs with an electric and acoustic mix, then adds a few
originals and deep-track gems. The band was formed in 2019 by guitarist and singer Mike Boni, and bassist and singer Danny Gold. Mike has frequently studied guitar with Jorma, is the lead guitarist for So. Central Rain (an REM tribute), and was formerly with Philly mainstays the Icons and Weight of the World. Danny is the bassist for Broken Arrow (a Neil Young tribute), the legendary Dukes of Destiny, and Philly’s longtime favorite western swing band, Beats Walkin’.
Mike and Danny both share a love of the music of Hot Tuna and have been integral parts of the Philadelphia music scene for over 4 decades. One evening in 2022, they invited 8-time Grammy award-winning drummer and producer Andy Kravitz, who records and performs with the legendary Taj Mahal, to jump up on stage and jam with them. Sparks flew, and Not Tuna was complete!
