The Jayhawks
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 entitled Sanctuary Park, set to be released late summer 2026.
Mary Gauthier
“A reckoning,” Mary Gauthier writes on the outer sleeve to her newest album, “can be personal, political, or spiritual. These songs inhabit all three realms at once.”
Yes. Yes, they do.
Reckoning (Soundly, Sept 25, 2026) is a dense, carefully nuanced, profoundly complex text, though all nine songs are presented as directly as possible: Mary’s voice, her guitar, bits of harmonica. Folk music, of a kind, but not a broadside. Nothing so easy as that. Topical songs with a long view, because she’s seen and lived too much of it.
Reckoning is a decidedly human experience. Co-producer Neilson Hubbard notes on the sleeve that Mary had suggested Springsteen’s Nebraska for a sonic template. “Along with preserving intentional space,” Hubbard writes, “these choices helped shape the record’s intimate sonic landscape.”
For her part, Mary offers a dry chuckle. ““There were moments where the pearl snaps on my shirt hit the guitar,” she says. “And my guitar is not always in perfect time. There are a couple notes that kinda plunk. Perfection is no longer useful because technology has made it accessible to everyone. Perfection is not human anyway. Flaws and foibles and showing your humanity, that’s how we connect. Not perfection.”
