The Jayhawks have been a staple of the alt-country scene since their debut 25 years ago, right up until they went on hiatus in the mid-'00s. The band reunited recently, and joined 89.3 The Current for an invite-only performance at the historic Fitzgerald Theater before the release of their new album.
