2020 release. Today's Jefferson Starship is alive with the adventurous musical spirit that propelled the legendary band through the '70s, '80s, and beyond, as the world will soon hear when the band releases Mother of the Sun, their first new music since 2008. Songs include "It's About Time" and "Don't Be Sad Anymore," which were co-written with original Jefferson Starship/Jefferson Airplane members Grace Slick and Marty Balin, respectively. Original member Pete Sears also returns to play bass on three tracks.
