Wilco's Jeff Tweedy Hits The Road Solo, Announces Concert Dates

December 20, 2006

Jeff Tweedy has announced a list of concert dates and venues for his January solor tour across the south. (IRC has a Podcast of Wilco's best live performances coming up. Want to be alerted when it's launched?)

The Wilco front man and perhaps alternative rock country’s most popular singer and songwriter, Tweedy has been going on his own more frequently in past years, something that has irked many Wilco fans of late.

But no worries, they are coming out with a new album in March on NoneSuch Records.

With that aside, one of the honorable things about Jeff Tweedy is that he is truly one of the musicians, who despite his success going solo or with Wilco, who seems genuinely trying to stay as “indie” as possible, and in more ways than one (such as insisting on his own terms when recording).

As an iconic figure on the indie - or alt country, if you will – stage, Tweedy (who die-hard fans call Jeff) dresses in flannels and jeans, sports a shaggy beard and keeps his music real. Notwithstanding, he is also true to his fans. Just look at the venues he’s playing on his upcoming tour:

01-16 Memphis, TN - Germantown Performing Arts Center
01-17 Nashville, TN - James K. Polk Theater
01-19 Tulsa, OK - Cain's Ballroom
01-20 Dallas, TX - Granada Theater
01-21 Marfa, TX - Liberty Hall
01-23 Austin, TX - Hogg Auditorium at University of Texas
01-24 Austin, TX - Hogg Auditorium at University of Texas
01-26 New Orleans, LA - House of Blues
01-27 Birmingham, AL - Alabama Theatre
01-29 Atlanta, GA - Tabernacle01-30 Knoxville, TN - Bijou Theatre
01-31 Charlottesville, VA - Paramount Theater Additional dates are expected, so check back or send us an email now to remind you when dates and venues are added. Here's Wilco's tour announcement hompage.

IRC will be launching beta pages for http://www.indierockconcerts.com and http://www.indierocksongs.com in the next few months, making it much easier for our readers and visitors to get exactly what they want and when they want it.

As the domain names imply, those websites will function as separate entities but will be part of, let’s say, the suite of Indie Rock Café’s websites on the Internet.
