== Personal life ==

Kaukonen has been married to Vanessa Kaukonen since 1984. The couple live on the 
Fur Peace Ranch property in Pomeroy, Ohio, where they have raised their family 
and built the ranch into a significant cultural institution. He has spoken and 
written candidly about struggles with substance use earlier in his life, and has 
been open about his sobriety in interviews and in his memoir.

His memoir, '''''Been So Long: My Life and Music''''', was published in 2018 and 
offers a detailed account of his upbringing, his years with Jefferson Airplane, 
the development of Hot Tuna, and his life since. It received positive reviews 
and is considered one of the more substantive musician memoirs to emerge from 
the San Francisco psychedelic era.
