"There's more time between now and the beginning of my career than there was between the big band era and when my career began. How does that happen? In the late 1980s, Tweedy helped invent the idea of alt-country music with his band Uncle Tupelo; today he's best known as the frontman of Wilco, which since 1994 has been steadily expanding the boundaries of American roots rock."
"His latest project is 'Twilight Override,' a sprawling if homespun triple album under his own name with no fewer than 30 songs about love, travel, music, family and childhood. Tweedy cut the record at Wilco's longtime Windy City headquarters, the Loft, with a band comprising Spencer, 30, and Sammy, 26, along with Sima Cunningham, Liam Kazar and Macie Stewart."
"Yet the 58-year-old has done plenty else across those four decades, including writing three books, producing albums by Mavis Staples and Richard Thompson and presenting a COVID-era variety show on Instagram with his wife, Susie Miller Tweedy (a former owner of the storied Chicago rock club Lounge Ax), and their two sons, Spencer and Sammy."
Jeff Tweedy, the 58-year-old frontman of Wilco, has experienced a remarkable career spanning four decades. He co-founded Uncle Tupelo in the late 1980s, helping establish alt-country music, and has since led Wilco since 1994 in expanding American roots rock boundaries. Beyond music, Tweedy has written three books, produced albums for artists like Mavis Staples and Richard Thompson, and created a COVID-era variety show with his wife Susie Miller Tweedy and sons Spencer and Sammy. His latest project, 'Twilight Override,' is a triple album containing 30 songs exploring themes of love, travel, music, family, and childhood. Recorded at Wilco's Chicago headquarters, the Loft, with his sons and collaborators, Tweedy continues performing and developing new material at venues like Largo at the Coronet in Los Angeles.
