Mark Olson (of the Jayhawks) and Ingunn Ringvold on Tour in Support of 'Spokeswoman of the Bright Sun'

Mark Olson surfaced as a songwriter of note when The Jayhawks emerged crossing post-punk with “new” country in a genre we now call ‘Americana’. Olson later formed the much loved Original Harmony Creekdippers along with a caravan of guests who were responsible for a series of truly remarkable albums including My Own Jo Ellen and Mystic Theatre. Olson re-appears after a three year hiatus accompanied by his wife and musical collaborator Ingunn Ringvold to deliver 'Spokeswoman of the Bright Sun'. The couple live in Joshua Tree, California and the album was written and recorded at their home. From the opening song the listener is greeted by Olson’s trademark wistful vocals and Ringvold’s harmonies which create the feeling of intimacy. The gentle hazy psychedelic country flavor of these songs leave you with the feeling that Olson, despite his musings, has found what life is all about.
