Craig Chaquico – Indian Spring
Biography
Career
Chaquico began playing the guitar as a young boy and by the age of 14 was playing professionally in nightclubs. Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane saw him play as a 16-year-old, and invited Chaquico to join him for a series of recording sessions and concerts. During this period members of the Airplane, The Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Crosby, Stills and Nash often appeared together in concerts and recordings, and Chaquico played alongside a number of legendary musicians including Jerry Garcia, David Crosby, David Freiberg and Carlos Santana. His first recording was with Kantner and Grace Slick in 1971 on their Sunfighter duo album.
After informally joining the newly-formed Jefferson Starship he expected to go back to school after one tour. Instead, Slick and Kantner approached him in 1972 and asked if he wanted to join the band permanently. He jumped at the chance.

I like every one of his tracks- all of them- and I listen to guitarists about 75% of the time. He is as smooth and as talented as they get- with a unique sound--and all ten fingers are a blessing to my ears. And yep- his live shows are excellent, too! Dig in!

Love Craig, I met him in Hawaii back in 75. I also did a photography slide presentation to Acoustic Highway, it came out awesome and the music helped a lot. I've seen him perform live and it is just a thrill every time.

This is what you do on the coast. Welcome to our world. This is what is playing as you walk into the kitchen at sunset. Cook something wonderful from the Sea, look west at sunrise. The cool air is spicy with evening. Later there will be stars on the Black Velvet Night and music floats on the air.

Can anyone recommend what to start with from a Jefferson Starship fan's perspective?

This guy is amazing, always has been. I grew up in Sacramento and was fortunate enough to see Craig play in some pretty small venues The Underground Shingle for one when he was playing with Jack Traylor and Steelwind I still love listening to that album.
