Wilco piecing together fall schedule
Chicago-based alt-rock act Wilco is assembling a run of shows that stretches between the group's Sept. 18 appearance at Farm Aid and its recently announced Oct. 15 gig in support of The Rolling Stones.
Wilco has so far scheduled headlining dates in Tulsa, OK and Asheville, NC. The band will also make stops at Columbia, MO's 9th St. Summerfest and Austin, TX's Austin City Limits Festival.
In addition, Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy is scheduled give a solo performance Thursday (7/21) at the Calgary Folk Music Festival.
"A Ghost is Born," Wilco's latest album, hit stores in June of 2004. The band co-produced the set with Jim O'Rourke, who engineered the group's previous release, 2002's gold-certified "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot."
The only remaining original members of Wilco are frontman/guitarist Tweedy and bassist John Stiratt. The group is rounded out by drummer Glen Kotche, programmer/keyboardist Mikael Jorgenson, keyboardist/guitarist Pat Sansone (The Autumn Defense) and guitarist Nels Cline.
