Jayhawks Band Dissolves

After years as critical darlings and commercial also-rans, the Jayhawks are no more. Mark Olson, co-founder and singer/guitarist of the band, has left to pursue other songwriting options.

The Jayhawks’ other singer/ guitarist, Gary Louris, tells Billboard, “Mark Olson left the group, catching pretty much everyone, including his label, by surprise, and the rest of the band is deciding what direction to pursue.”
