For more than forty years, The Jayhawks have created music that embodies the enduring spirit and soul of classic American songwriting.
The Jayhawks emerged from Minneapolis in the post-punk era of The Replacements, Hüsker Dü, and Soul Asylum. They pioneered today’s Americana movement through a series of classic albums that introduced rock audiences to their unique musical stew of country, folk, soul, Britpop, and rock 'n' roll.
The band has played most every major music festival, from Farm Aid to Primavera Sound, Pinkpop to Wilco’s Sky Blue Sky. In the tradition of The Band and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Jayhawks have toured with and served as backup band for many of music’s most acclaimed visionaries, including Ray Davies, Roger McGuinn, and Johnny Cash.
Today, Gary Louris, Marc Perlman, Karen Grotberg, and Tim O’Reagan continue to record and tour worldwide. Over 12 studio albums and three live albums, The Jayhawks are still building a legacy of music that stands the test of time.
The band once again teamed up with legendary producer Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed) to create their upcoming album, Sanctuary Park, set to be released in late summer 2026.
