About

The Jayhawks recently performed a Tiny Desk concert, showcasing their timeless jangly, country-rock sound with close harmonies and exquisitely crafted hooks. Despite numerous breakups and personnel changes over their 30-year career, they've remained consistent thanks to founding member Gary Louris' dominance in singing and songwriting. The band's latest album, "Paging Mr. Proust," features songs like "Comeback Kids," capturing the essence of vintage Jayhawks. Emerging from the Twin Cities music scene in the '80s, The Jayhawks influenced bands like Uncle Tupelo and the Gear Daddies with their alternative country style. With eleven studio albums and various lineup changes, including Mark Olson's departure at different points, the band has persisted through hiatuses and reunions, continuing to tour and record.
