THIS PERFORMANCE IS SOLD OUT

"Wilco's frontman Jeff Tweedy can seem like a guy who's been reading Bob Dylan's biography backward.  Once he was associated with a stolid American roots classicism, an august, honest kind of rock that just hums along and doesn't need to be explained.  Then, with a changed band, he took that idea apart, challenging and amping up the music, causing a stir.  Now he appears to be blowing minds alone, with voice and guitar.

"This isn't exact chronology.  Mr. Tweedy has been doing solo shows, sporadically, since 1997.  And even in the old days, the original versions of his Wilco songs could stretch out pretty well on a song.  But Mr. Tweedy has gotten so wickedly effective as a solo performer that he could make that his main gig, should he want to.  And withough belaboring the influence, he has mainlined Dylan -- the brusque collision of popular song forms; the rich, imagistic language; the audience-baiting."  -- The New York Times
