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 nearly 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 the backing 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.

Across 12 studio albums and three live albums, The Jayhawks continue to build 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 for release in late summer 2026.
