Concert Timings: Chuck Prophet: 7.30 - 8.00pm Interval: 8.00 - 8.20pm The Jayhawks: 8.20 - 10.20pm Mockingbird Time is the brilliant new Jayhawks record capturing the ultimate lineup of this great American band in full flight. This CD marks the first time all five of these musicians—Gary Louris and co-leader Mark Olson, bassist Marc Perlman, keyboard player Karen Grotberg and drummer Tim O’Reagan – have been in a recording studio together. During their heyday in the first half of the 1990s, The Jayhawks perfected a captivating sound that seamlessly blended the elegant folk-rock of the Byrds, the adventurousness of Buffalo Springfield, the hippiebilly soulfulness of the Flying Burrito Brothers and the soaring harmonies of the Beach Boys. So it’s richly ironic that their reappearance coincides with a dramatic resurgence of the musical approach they played such a central role in perpetuating—but this time around, The Jayhawks themselves are revered as icons by the young bands carrying on those same traditions, and it’s their own legacy that they’re advancing.
