Tell me more: Four decades into their stellar career, The Jayhawks continue to champion and celebrate Americana music with a masterful touch (the band's self-titled debut, dubbed by fans as The Bunkhouse Album, was released in 1986). On their outstanding 11-track album Sanctuary Park the Minnesota-based quartet continues its winning run with a batch of originals collectively bolstered by artful songcraft, sharp production, stellar musicianship, and shining lead and harmony vocals. The parade of compelling tracks on the Bob Ezrin-produced album include the political-minded "American Midnight," deeply affecting acoustic-flavored "Mr. Lincoln," sweeping gospel-meets-folk foray "Leap Of Faith," bewitching country rocker "Kingston Girl," magical "It'll Be All Right Tonight" and exuberant "Keeping Our Heads Above Water."

The Jayhawks (guitarist-singer Gary Louris, bassist-singer Marc Perlman, keyboardist-singer Karen Grotberg, drummer-singer Tim O'Reagan) will perform at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, CA at 7:15 p.m. on Dec. 11, 2026.
