On a rainy Saturday night at Davey’s Uptown, Mark Olson presented a picture of informality. Dressed in a natty grandpa sweater and a pair of argyle trousers, the founding songwriter of the Jayhawks casually inhabited a booth and chatted up the locals on presidential politics (he’s an Obama supporter). By 8 p.m. there were enough millers-about to justify a performance, and Olson sauntered onstage with his Norwegian female accompanist Ingunn Ringvold and Italian violinist Michele Gazich.
