Wilco

Fourteen years into a career that has seen upheaval, growth, and triumph, acclaimed double Grammy winners Wilco are to visit New Zealand in March.

Formed in 1992 by Jeff Tweedy following the dissolution of his pioneering alt country group Uncle Tupelo, Wilco have released six studio albums, a double live set, collaborated with Billy Bragg on an album of Woody Guthrie compositions, been the subject of the documentary I Am Trying To Break Your Heart (which charted the creation of an album rejected by their record company but would be Wilcos best-selling album worldwide), and published their own book of writing and artworks. Wilcos stylistic diversity has seen them called the 'American Radiohead', and the evolving band has never stayed static. Now, with the line-up that debuted on the Kicking Television: Live In Chicago album, Wilco has reached the pinnacle of their ensemble powers.

And . . . . recently returned from a successful expedition to the U.S, Silver Scroll nominee Miriam Clancy is chosen to play support for the double Grammy winning Wilco.

These two acts together shouldn't be missed.
