Since 1994, the very definition of eclectic influences, Wilco, has been ever-present giving fans an alternative rock potpourri of sounds. With shades of rockabilly, new wave, and classic rock, Wilco has always offered something for everyone.
This April marks 20 years since the release of Wilco‘s storied fourth studio album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, on Nonesuch Records. Considered by many to be one of the greatest albums of the 2000s, it was even the subject of a documentary by Sam Jones called I Am Trying to Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco, capturing the recording of such an epic album.
The current band lineup features musicians John Stirratt, Jeff Tweedy, Glenn Kotche, Mikael Jorgensen, Nels Cline, and Pat Sansone, and will celebrate the album’s milestone by performing Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in its entirety (plus a mix of concert favorites and rarities) in two limited runs at New York City’s United Palace and Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre.
These unique performances precede Wilco’s North Adams-based Solid Sound Festival in May and will offer fans a rare chance to celebrate the original masterpiece and prepare for the archival Yankee Hotel Foxtrot re-releases coming later this year.
