The Jayhawks

The Jayhawks, an enduring force in Americana since their formation in 1985, have helped shape the landscape of alternative country and country rock from their home base in the United States. Known for their effortlessly melodic songwriting and poignant lyricism, The Jayhawks are celebrated for their distinctive blend of roots-infused sound—bridging the gap between classic country harmonies and the raw edge of rock. Their comprehensive discography includes acclaimed albums such as "XOXO" (2020), "Back Roads and Abandoned Motels" (2018), and the live recording "By Crook And Fire (Chicago Live '93)."

In September 2026, The Jayhawks are set to headline shows at notable UK venues, including Academy 2 in Manchester and The Old Fruitmarket in Glasgow. These concerts promise to showcase the band’s rich catalogue, offering British audiences a rare and compelling live music experience from one of Americana’s most respected groups. Whether performing fan favourites or new material, The Jayhawks’ stage presence and musicianship remain undiminished after nearly four decades.

For those passionate about Americana and alternative country, The Jayhawks’ concerts are essential events. Keep an eye on their official channels for tour dates and further announcements, and be sure to follow The Jayhawks for the latest gigs and updates.
