Tweedy, made up of Wilco founding member and leader Jeff Tweedy and
his eighteen year old son and drummer Spencer
Tweedy, will perform their first ever show in New Zealand
Easter 2016.
The band comprised of Jeff & Spencer Tweedy
(The Blisters, Mavis Staples) on drums, features Jim Elkington (The Horse’s Ha,
Eleventh Dream Day) on additional guitars, Darin Grey (On Fillmore,
Brise-Glace) on bass and Liam
Cunningham (Marrow) on keyboards, will be performing songs from
the Tweedy, Wilco,
Uncle Tupelo and Jeff
Tweedy solo catalogues.
Regarded as one of contemporary music’s most accomplished songwriters,
musicians and performers Jeff
Tweedy started Wilco on 1994. The band have recorded nine
remarkable albums and collaborated with Billy
Bragg to bring to life three albums full of Woody Guthrie
penned lyrics in the milestone Mermaid
Avenue album series.
TWEEDY - The father/son duo’s debut album titled Sukierae (sue-key-ray), features 20 new Jeff Tweedy-written songs, was met with
universal praise with Rolling Stone announcing “Sukierae – the first such outing by Wilco's Jeff
Tweedy, serves mostly to confirm what we already know: Pop Tweedy is one of the
most emotionally fluent American songwriters around. It all adds up to another
tour de force from a guy who's made a few” and The Music “It remains a Tweedy Snr affair in
both scope and composition, and proves a fascinating foray into hitherto
uncharted waters.”
Jeff Tweedy is not regarded as one of music’s most influential Artist’s by
mistake or accident. Come and see why.
