Mark Olson is a founding member of The Jayhawks, the most acclaimed band to emerge out of the alt-country scene. He left the Jayhawks in 1996, after the release of the band’s biggest-selling album, Tomorrow The Green Grass, but continued to record music with his new band, The Creekdippers, at his new home in the California desert.
In 2007 Mark released his first true solo album, The Salvation Blues. A deeply personal album, it also featured the long-awaited reunion with his former Jayhawks bandmate and writing partner, Gary Louris, on three songs.
In 2008 Mark and Gary got together and recorded an album Ready For The Flood, and toured the world extensively after its release for the better part of 2009.
Now it's 2010 and Mark's second solo album, Many Colored Kite, is out on Rykodisc.

Thanks for the add, Mark. Hope to see you in Portland!
Das Album "Many Colored Kite" gehört zu den "Take 5" CD-Tipps der Woche auf MDR FIGARO, dem Kulturradio des Mitteldeutschen Rundfunks.
You're the best!
Listening to the new songs...very poetic...you are writing in a way that brings encouragement to the one who has listened to many songs. Salvation Blues has been played often...some came here to die, we came here to live...now "our life has meaning behind the veil." Keeo creating.
