Legendary rock band Jefferson Starship<\/strong> (featuring David Freiberg<\/strong>, Donny Baldwin<\/strong>, Cathy Richardson<\/strong>, Chris Smith<\/strong>, and Jude Gold<\/strong>) has announced the release of their new EP, Mother of the Sun,<\/strong> their first collection of new songs in 12 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mother of the Sun<\/strong>will be released via Golden Robot Records will hit stores and streaming platforms on August 21. The seven tracks include two songs co-written by original Jefferson Starship\/Jefferson Airplane members \u2014 It’s About Time<\/strong><\/em> co-written with Grace Slick<\/strong> and another co-written with Marty Balin<\/strong>. The collection also features the return of original Jefferson Starship member Pete Sears<\/strong>, who plays bass on three tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Paul Kantner<\/strong> was our bandleader and the visionary who kept Jefferson Starship going through so many eras,”<\/em> says Richardson. “He inspired so much about this record, from the messages in the lyrics to the title and album art to the collaborative process of creating music as a band with some of his original muses – Grace, Marty, and Pete. Mother of the Sun is dedicated to PK.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Jefferson Starship’s current members have been touring incessantly (including playing five continents with Kantner before his passing in 2016), Kantner’s final “crew” has mostly been riding out the pandemic in their homes. That hasn’t stopped them from planning a massive 2021 tour to support Mother of the Sun<\/strong>, though, as new dates will be announced this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
