From the venue:
Wilco’s inception in 1994 followed the breakup of alternative country group Uncle Tupelo. Frontman Jeff Tweedy maintains vestiges of Uncle Tupelo’s folky Americana sound, while infusing it with his own indie rock style. The result — a chilled-out folk-rock band that ushered in a new era of indie music, influencing bands like Bright Eyes and the Shins. Also emerging from country roots, opener Sophie Allison, better known as Soccer Mommy, hails from Nashville. Having recorded her first EP in her bedroom, Soccer Mommy maintains a soft, indie rock sound, evident in her confessional style that’s in line with a new generation of musicians who release their music independently on the internet. — Leah Schwartz
