Jeff Tweedy To Embark On Solo Acoustic Tour
Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy will embark on a solo acoustic tour of North America in April in support of his recently released album Together At Last.
The tour goes on sale Friday, Feb. 9 via Wilcoworld.net and includes performances in multiple Canadian cities rarely visited by Tweedy as a solo performer or with his band Wilco, as well as concerts in several Eastern US cities including the High Water Festival in Charleston, SC and later, in June, at the Clearwater Festival in Croton-on-Hudson, NY.
Tweedy touring then resumes in September with several European solo performances including End of the Road Festival in Wiltshire, UK and Into The Great Wide Open in Vlieland, NL. A complete list of tour dates is below.
Working with no set list, the Wilco frontman offers reworked versions of familiar fan favorites as well as deep tracks from his expansive catalog. Equipped with only an acoustic guitar and a droll sense of humor, Tweedy frequently encourages audience participation, resulting in a concert experience that is as intimate and compelling as it is entertaining.
“What's truly impressive is Tweedy's ability to hold an audience's attention with no props and nothing to hide behind . . . more fun than almost two hours of skeletally arranged songs that often virtually wobble with disconnection, disillusionment, heartbreak and anxiety has any right to be.” - Line of Best Fit
The Wilco front man creates fascinating juxtapositions as he hops around his back catalogue like a magpie.” - The Guardian
Recorded at Tweedy’s Chicago studio The Loft and released in June 2017, Together At Last (dBpm Records) features intimate renditions of 11 songs previously released by Wilco and by Tweedy’s occasional side projects Loose Fur and Golden Smog. It is available everywhere now.
