  An Embryonic Journey of Musical Entrepreneurship

  The music business is a case study in how macro-environmental factors can radically transform an industry. Developments such as digital production and distribution

  coupled with social media

  crowdfunding

  and changing consumer preferences

  have dramatically transformed the business model for the recorded music industry in recent years and spurred the developments of entrepreneurial business models to enable musicians to survive in their changing environment. As a solo artist and founding member of the musical groups Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna

  Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musician Jorma (“The Captain”) Kaukonen has recorded albums for major labels such as RCA

  Sony

  and Columbia

  as well as independent labels such as Relix and Red House Records. In this interview

  Jorma and his wife and business manager

  Vanessa Kaukonen

  discuss their experiences as musical entrepreneurs in the digital age

  including their founding of the unique Fur Peace Ranch guitar camp in the hills of Appalachia. The entrepreneurial business undertakings of the Kaukonens highlight the potential for entrepreneurial musicians to develop innovative and sustainable business models for surviving in this new world of music.
