Mark Olson to Release Solo Record

Jayhawks co-founder Mark Olson will release his first solo album, The Salvation Blues, June 12 on Hacktone Records.

Olson wrote and recorded songs on Salvation over a two year period of intense travel that took him to Norway, Poland and Minnesota, among other worldly places.

“I just kind of roamed around,” Olson said in a recent statement. “I was doing what I wanted to. I tried to write as best I could, for once in my life. I pushed myself on this one, more than I ever have.”
