	Musicians - Gary Louris

Gary Louris is a guitarist, singer, and songwriter of alternative country and pop music. He was a founding member of the Minneapolis-based band The Jayhawks, and their principal songwriter and vocalist after the departure of Mark Olson; he is often credited with the band's subsequent move from folk-country toward a more progressive, poppier sound.

Louris is also a member of the intermittent Midwest musical collective/side-project Golden Smog; other members have included fellow Jayhawk Marc Perlman, Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy from Soul Asylum, Kraig Johnson of Run Westy Run and Replacement Chris Mars.

In spring 2005, Louris and Olson toured together billed as "From the Jayhawks: An Evening with Mark Olson & Gary Louris, Together Again."
