Wilco
Hailing from Chicago, Wilco has been celebrated as "one of the greatest American rock bands performing today," according to CBS Sunday Morning. Led by prolific songwriter Jeff Tweedy—whom Rolling Stone has placed among the "true songwriters," like Bob Dylan, for his "great lyrics, great melody, great emotion"—the band has spent decades evolving its sound, which deftly blends alternative rock, Americana, and experimental textures.
More about Wilco:
Wilco is a multiple-Grammy Award winner, notably earning BestAlternative Music Album for their 2004 classic, A Ghost Is Born.
Wilco released their 13th studio album, Cousin, in September 2023.
The band is a frequent guest on late-night television, with memorable appearances like their performance of "Everyone Hides"on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
