Minnesota’s favorite The Jayhawks is doing a double night residency at the Fitzgerald Theater, in St Paul, on December 12 and 13, 2025.

We saw The Jayhawks in Dec 2018 and wrote, “Since reuniting in 2014 with their 1997-era line up (Gary Louris; Marc Perlman; Karen Grotberg; Tim O’Reagan; John Jackson) The Jayhawks have shown little signs of slowing down, releasing another record of new music this year, Back Roads and Abandoned Motels (Legacy Recordings), a collection of two new songs alongside contributions songwriter Gary Louris wrote for other outside projects. With thirty-five years of material to draw from, the band’s two-hour fifteen-minute set started on a classic upswing with 2000’s ‘I’m Gonna Make you Love Me’ then dove back to the 1989 Blue Earth album for deep cut, ‘Ain’t No End’, before jumping back ahead twenty-five years to 2016’s ‘Quiet Corners & Empty Spaces’.”

Robyn Hitchcock to open. His new album 1967: Vacations In The Past is an acoustic musical companion to his critically acclaimed new memoir, 1967: How I Got There and Why I Never Left (Akashic Books).
