The band that helped inspire a whole generation of new country and folk rock artists, from Counting Crows to The Walkabouts, finally make it to Barcelona. The Jayhawks started winning local fans with their fresh mixture of bluegrass, folk and rock in the late-1980s. Albums such as ‘Hollywood Town Hall’ and ‘Tomorrow the Green Grass’ found a place on many critical top ten lists, but never really broke sales-wise. Co-founder Mark Olson left in 1996, but vocalist-songwriter Gary Louris and the rest of the band have since produced two more albums of shimmering country-rock melodies.
