The A.V. Club’s “Pioneering” series has been incredible to watch this month, and now’s a great time to catch up on all the episodes if you’ve missed any. In past weeks, the video series has featured the Mountain Goats paying tribute to the Ramones in NYC (watch HERE), Protomartyr celebrating The Stooges in Ann Arbor (watch HERE), Those Darlins paying homage to Dolly Parton in Nashville (watch HERE) and Sharon Van Etten paying tribute to Bruce Springsteen in New Jersey (watch HERE)..

This week’s great episode features Shakey Graves and Eef Barzelay’s tribute to Jefferson Airplane. Shakey and Eef discuss the band’s history in San Francisco, and then they head to Bottom of the Hill, where they perform a stunning duet of “Somebody To Love”, Jefferson Airplane’s classic hit.

Each of the “Pioneering” episodes focuses on the stories of groundbreaking American musicians, as told by current-day artists. A new “Pioneering” episode will run every Monday through May 26th. The series is hosted by critically-acclaimed singer/songwriter Eef Barzelay.
