We saw The Jayhawks tonight at Tarrytown Music Hall and it hit me that I first saw them in concert (gulp) 35 years ago. They still sound great and I’m so glad they played “Pray For Me”, still one of my favorite songs. youtu.be/VS4N8z2HwZk?si… via @YouTube

I was lucky enough to see them in Brooklyn earlier this year when they performed REM’s “Fables of the Reconstruction”. Incredible show. Can’t wait for this next tour. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
We are thrilled to welcome our friend Bobcat Goldthwait as main support for our LRP40 US Tour in 2026! Another hilarious pal Eugene Mirman will do Brooklyn and Boston dates.

5 shows are already SOLD OUT - Portland and DC are getting close!
