Cathy Richardson says, “Jude had written a song around the chorus that was kind of a love song about wanting to disappear with someone into the cosmos. He asked me to take a stab at some different lyrics. I loved the music and the hook was really strong. I thought about why I would want to strap on a rocket and blast off the planet, and the words just came spilling out. We recorded it a while ago with a different ending, but then I had an idea for an outro, and I really wanted to hear the band jam out over that chord progression and go to space musically.”

2025 saw the legendary Jefferson Starship coming off their successful 50th Anniversary Tour. Keeping the celebratory momentum alive, the band played dates across North America and Europe through 2026 – including their first UK dates in over 10 years (as support to Foreigner). Currently, the band continues touring North America with Deep Purple, as well as headlining their own ‘Runaway Again‘ tour.

Adding a special connection to the band’s history, ‘Jetpack‘ features longtime Jefferson Starship bassist Pete Sears on bass, bringing another direct link between the band’s celebrated past and its music today.

About Jefferson Starship:

Jefferson Starship is one of the most successful arena rock bands of the ’70s and ’80s, earning three platinum and eight gold albums along with a long string of Billboard Top 40 hits. Just celebrated their 50th anniversary—a milestone reached by only a few enduring rock acts—the band continues to honour its storied legacy while bringing their iconic catalogue to fans around the world. Founded in the ’70s by Paul Kantner, Jefferson Starship emerged as a collective of musical explorers whose work helped define an era of rock. Today’s line-up—founding member David Freiberg, drummer Donny Baldwin (since 1982), keyboardist Chris Smith (since 1998), guitarist Jude Gold (since 2012), and vocalist/guitarist Cathy Richardson (since 2008) — has become a powerful touring force, performing across all 50 U.S. states and on five continents. Known for their family-like camaraderie and high-energy live shows, the band continues to embody the adventurous spirit championed by Paul Kantner, who passed in 2016. As Jude Gold reflects, “That ‘Paul Kantner thing’—getting on a rocket ship and blasting off into the unknown—is the very essence of Jefferson Starship. And that spirit is very much alive in the band today.”
