Leah Nash It was only five days or so and not especially far, but this past weekend's extended jaunt to New York City was a lovely break from both my jobs - the blog and the one that pays - so while I readjust to the reality that my lifestyle is NOT meandering about Manhattan, taking pictures and eating strange and delicious meals, I'm just gonna toss up some stuff that's been accumulating over the last few days and go have a nap. And I guess we'll start with Mr Stephen Malkmus , whose [...]
The Jayhawks just may be the most likable band of all time. That's not to say that any of their albums are really my all-time favorites, but the irresistable joy and warmth of their music always makes me feel better for having listened to it. The same is true of their new album, Mockingbird Time. [...]
San Francisco's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival will once again provide broke festival fanatics with one last chance for a weekend full of music before the harsh reality of winter sets in. Set for September 30 - October 2 at Golden Gate Park, this year's edition offers Robert Plant & the Band of Joy, Bright Eyes, Bob Mould, Broken Social Scene, and Buckethead for the price of your attendance - aka, it's free. Other notable acts include John Prine, Bill Kirchen, Gomez, DeVotchKa, Gillian Welch, Dr. John & the [...]
We keep our eyes peeled for new tour dates announcements each week and compile them on Tuesdays for this handy column… As live music junkies we get really excited when our favorite bands reveal a new batch of tour dates, but when two of them decide to team up to hit the road together, it makes us feel like a kid on Christmas morning. This was the case last week when news dropped that Blitzen Trapper and Dawes will be traversing the country together come this fall. The two Cosmic Americana acts will [...]

Ever hear the tune "Tomorrow the Green Grass"? Odds are if you haven't seen the 1995 comedy National Lampoon's Senior Trip - starring one Jeremy Renner, in fact - then you're probably at a loss. Anyways, the band behind the ultra rad track is Minneapolis' own The Jayhawks. As we previously reported earlier this summer , the alternative country rockers reunited this year and plan on releasing their eighth LP, Mockingbird Time , on September 23rd via Rounder Records. To support the release, The Jayhawks have [...]
Mockingbird Time, the new album from acclaimed group The Jayhawks, will be released September 20 on Rounder Records. Already receiving acclaim, the album’s first single, “She Walks In So Many Ways,” debuted at #29 at BDS and #30 at Mediabase and is currently #13 at FMQB's Top 200 and #13 at their Non Commercial Chart. In celebration of the release, the band will embark on a worldwide tour spanning this summer and fall, including an appearance on the Late Show...

Almost a decade removed from their hallmark Hollywood Towns hall, Rainy Day Music pairs the Hawks with alt-country super producer Ethan Johns.
Minneasotan kultakurkut The Jayhawks ovat palanneet yhteen ja julkaisevat uuden albumin Mockingbird Time 7. syyskuuta. Pääasiallisten säveltäjien Gary Louriksen ja Mark Olsonin lisäksi mukaan ovat lähteneet myös muut Tomorrow the Green Grass -levyn (1995) aikaiset jäsenet Karen Grotberg, Tim O'Reagan ja Marc Perlman. Ensimmäinen single She Walks In So Many Ways osoittaa, että taika on vielä tallella: ajattomat melodiat, helisevät kitarat ja kaunis yhteislaulu. The Jayhawks esiintyy 14. (loppuunmyyty) ja 15.8. Tavastialla . Paste Magazinen sivuilta löytyy paluuseen ja levyn tekemiseen keskittyvä video. [...]
The great Jayhawks , one of the best bands from the 1990s, plays Taste of Chicago Saturday. These guys played a couple of reunion shows at the Vic earlier this year. The Jayhawks always play a good show, which will be welcomed at the trimmed down Taste. Everest opens. Here's an old video - live on Jon Stewart:

As we head into the tail end of the first leg of Phish's summer tour, we're sure there are plenty of people out there that are beginning to make travel arrangements for the band's west coast swing, which kicks off with a two-night stand at The Gorge in George, WA on August 5 and 6. If you're looking to take all the fuss out of finding yourself lodging and getting yourself to and from the shows each night we'd like to point you in the direction of our newest advertiser - the recently launched Bobby D-Tour .

Following in the footsteps of so many of the Twin Cities' finest musicians, Ryan Traster loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly Brooklyn in search of fame, fortune and (with apologies to Cecil's ) a really good deli. Recorded at the near-renown Flowers Studio under the watchful eye of Ed Ackerson (27 Various, Polara, BNLX), The Tourists EP was an extremely impressive slice of americana. That record also just so happened to feature some serious TC starpower, including Marc Perlman (The Jayhawks) [...]
Frank Yang Okkervil River are probably pretty comfortable at the Phoenix now, this past Friday marking the band's third straight show at the Toronto venue. But each visit was in a slightly different context - Spring 2008 as support for The New Pornographers , that same October marking their first swing at headlining the 1000-capacity room - and this show would be the gauge as to whether they had outgrown that scale venue and would be moving onto bigger stages. And indeed, the did sell it out but [...]
Alt-country godfathers The Jayhawks are set to return with their original line-up - which includes founding members Gary Louis and Mark Olson - for their first album in more than 15 years. Titled Mockingbird Time , the 12-track effort will arrive September 20th via Rounder Records. Athough Louis and Olson have spent the better part of the last decade and a half on solo projects, the two singer-songwriters have been touring together since 2009. Since then, they've also reissued two of their earlier albums, 19922s Hollywood Town Hall and 19952s Tomorrow the Green [...]
Tina Tyrell Summer's only just arrived - climatologically speaking, at least, druidically speaking the solstice isn't for another fortnight - but already the music industry has us looking towards Fall, at least as far as new albums are concerned. Which is fine, at least insofar as that's typically the season for the year's biggest releases and while "big" is a relative measure, details on a few records I'm looking forward to hearing have come to light over the last few days. For starters, Annie Clark - aka St. Vincent - has wrapped up [...]
Summerfest considers itself the world's largest music festival - they even had Guinness certify that fact for them back in '99. Spanning 11 days, the Milwaukee, WI-based shindig features over 700 acts playing across 11 stages. And when it comes to revealing the lineup for this massive beast, it proves a multi-month process that began last winter and ended today with the announcement for the festival's final headliner - that honor goes to Jason Mraz. As for the other world-famous acts set to play in 2011? Kanye West (w/ Kid Cudi), Peter Gabriel and the New Blood Orchestrea, Kid [...]
Via NPR Music : At the core of The Jayhawks ' alt-country sound is the paired talent of Gary Louris and Mark Olson . These guys have it all: impeccable guitar runs, smooth harmonies and tremendous songwriting. Formed in Minneapolis in 1985, the band perfected its folk-rock style with loads of local gigging. Drawing inspiration from Gram Parsons, the Louvin Brothers , Tim Hardin and Bob Dylan , The Jayhawks released an eponymous debut in 1986. Soon, the band's Americana sound could be heard all [...]
