Biography
Singer and guitarist with The Jayhawks since 1985, Gary Louris has also collaborated with other bands and launched a solo career in 2008. Born in Toledo, Ohio, on March 10, 1955, he played in the rock'n'roll revival band Safety Last in the early 1980s, before joining The Jayhawks, alongside Mark Olson, with whom he made a major contribution to the revival of American country/folk music. Gary Louris also worked on the Golden Smog project with former members of Wilco and The Replacements. In 2008, he took advantage of a break from The Jayhawks to launch his own career with the Americana-tinged album Vagabonds for the Rykodisc label. He reunited with Mark Olson for the studio album Ready for the Flood (2008), followed by a joint tour leading to the 2009 release of Live @Eddie's Attic: Decatur Georgia. Returning to The Jayhawks for four new albums between 2011 and 2020, the songwriter returns to his solo career in 2021 with Jump for Joy, followed four years later by Dark Country.
