About Jefferson Starship

Jefferson Starship has carried its adventurous rock legacy for more than 50 years, earning three platinum records, eight gold records, and numerous Top 40 Billboard singles. Founded by Paul Kantner in the 1970s as a collective of musical adventurers, the band built a catalog that still feels expansive and alive onstage.

That spirit drives a lineup that has been together in its current form since 2012 and has toured all 50 U.S. states and five continents. The five members describe the group as both a family and a gang - camaraderie that comes through in a non-stop live set built for big nights.

As Jefferson Starship moves forward, it continues to carry Kantner's spirit of exploration and adventure into every performance.

John Waite

John Waite brings his unmistakable voice and nearly five decades of songwriting to the Mocama stage. Across multiple No. 1 hits, chart-topping bands, a celebrated solo career, and decades on the road, he has continued to write, record, and perform with the urgency of an artist still chasing the next perfect song.

His music pairs rock-and-roll power with an instinct for capturing longing, resilience, and the complexities of everyday life. This special co-headlining bill brings two enduring voices together for one night in Fernandina Beach.
