The Jayhawks - Sanctuary Park

For more than forty years, The Jayhawks have been making music that embodies the timeless spirit and soul of classic American songwriting. The Jayhawks emerged from Minneapolis in the post-punk era of bands such as The Replacements, Hüsker Dü, and Soul Asylum. They were pioneers of the contemporary Americana movement, with a series of classic albums that introduced rock audiences to their unique blend of country, folk, soul, Britpop, and rock ’n’ roll.

The band has played virtually every major music festival, from Farm Aid to Primavera Sound, and from 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 a backing band for many of the most acclaimed visionaries in music, 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. With more than twelve studio albums and three live albums, The Jayhawks continue to build a musical legacy that stands the test of time.

The band has once again teamed up with legendary producer Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed) for their new album, titled Sanctuary Park.
