Fur Peace Ranch:
It doesn’t get any better than this
Tucked away in the hills of
southeast Ohio is a place called
Fur Peace Ranch. Founded by
Jorma Kaukonen, guitarist for
Hot Tuna, it’s a place where musicians share their wisdom and
perform concerts in front of fans
and fellow musicians from across
the country. A new documentary
by Andie Walla called Fur Peace
Ranch: It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This provides a glimpse
into the world Kaukonen conceived in 1989 to be “a ranch
that grows guitar players.” It’s a
New Jersey Stage
place where budding and seasoned musicians immerse themselves for several days and leave
inspired and better musicians.
Walla works at Fur Peace Ranch,
helping them do a multi-camera
studio production for their YouTube channel. They film one
song from every concert they
hold at the Ranch and their videos have been seen roughly two
million times. This documentary
film was intended to showcase
more of the overall Ranch
experience.
