The tune comes from LaVere’s 2011 album,...

Bio: Described as “listener-friendly, but fresh, with a nice shimmer…” and “relatively delicate,...

In December, 1994, Hot Tuna performed live at the Filmore. That concert ultimately made it to DVD as Electric Hot Tuna: Live At The Fillmore. Here’s the band performing “Candyman” that night, with a nifty bass solo by the one and only Jack Casady.
