Singer, songwriter and guitarist Jeff Tweedy – best known as the frontman of Chicago rock band Wilco – will embark on a string of rare solo tour dates this fall including a stop at the Pabst.
This tour will be in support of Tweedy’s latest release Together At Last (dBpm Records), an 11-song retrospective featuring intricate acoustic versions of songs from the Wilco, Loose Fur and Golden Smog catalogs. “An earthy acoustic reassessment of songs from throughout a storied songwriting career, spelunking into Wilco’s sprawling back catalogue and shining a light on songs from some of Tweedy’s various spin-offs and side-hustles such as righteous power-pop trio Loose Fur and low-key indie supergroup Golden Smog.” – The Guardian
