PICK OF THE WEEK: The Jayhawks – January 27th – The Ogden
The Jayhawks were definitely swimming against the tide when they emerged from a crowded Minneapolis music scene halfway through the 1980’s. Forging a rootsy sound that wasn’t quite rock or country, The Jayhawks quickly turned into one of the most important bands of the post-punk era. They even helped make the world safe again for artists who weren’t afraid to fuse traditional rock, country and folk influences into something that was both timeless and modern, just like the best American bands always have.
