Knee Deep in Legal Hoopla: Former Starship Member Says He’s Owed Millions in Royalties

March 9, 2024

LONGTIME MEMBER of the San Francisco-based rock bands Jefferson Starship and later Starship was in court this week to hear his lawyers press a claim for an accounting of the royalties he earned and should have been paid for his role as guitarist, vocalist and songwriter with the bands from 1976 through 1991.

Craig Chaquico — pronounced “cha-KEE-so” — sat quietly in court Thursday in an unflamboyant tie and sport jacket as his lawyers explained to U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg why an accounting was necessary. He also listened quietly as lawyers for the defendants explained all the reasons why an accounting was not needed and, if it was needed, had already been provided.
