  • John Cipollina, (24 août 1943 - 29 mai 1989) est un guitariste américain connu pour sa participation au groupe de rock de San Francisco, Quicksilver Messenger Service. Né à Berkeley en Californie, il est allé à la Tamalpais High School, à Mill Valley en Californie. Il a débuté sa carrière musicale avec le piano classique dans sa jeunesse, mais a rapidement adopté la guitare. Il est considéré comme l'un des précurseur du San Francisco Sound et de la musique psychédélique de la côte ouest. De santé fragile, il décède prématurément à l'âge de 45 ans le 29 mai 1989 d'une crise cardiaque (provoquée par un emphysème).
  • Nato in California a Mill Valley, Cipollina aveva un caratteristico sound, unico nel suo genere. È considerato uno dei padri dell’Acid rock di San Francisco. Era solito suonare utilizzando fingerpicks, e facendo ampio uso del ponte tremolo che, spiegò a Jerry Garcia, gli serviva per rimediare alla debolezza della sua mano sinistra. Ancora più insolitamente, collocò in cima alla sua distintiva pila di amplificatori sei corna del piano wurlitzer. Il suo stile era molto melodico ed espressivo. Figura nella lista dei 100 migliori chitarristi secondo Rolling Stone al numero 32 avanti a leggende della sei corde come Brian May, Robert Fripp e Frank Zappa. Cipollina morì all’età di 45 anni a causa di enfisema dopo un periodo di malattia.
