How’s this for Monday Morning news?
Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy will be releasing a solo album and touring North America with a new band this summer. The new band, you ask? Well.
It will feature “Tweedy’s 18-year old son Spencer Tweedy (The Blisters, Mavis Staples) on drums, Jim Elkington (The Horse’s Ha, Eleventh Dream Day) on additional guitars, Darin Gray (On Fillmore, Brise-Glace) on bass and Liam Cunningham (Marrow) on keyboards.”
More from the press release:
“Concerts will be loosely staged in at least two parts: the band performing songs from a soon-to-be-released Jeff Tweedy solo album and Tweedy performing songs from his Wilco/Uncle Tupelo catalog solo acoustic.”
Rock on, kids. Be not so nervous, be not so pale.
