Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy is set to release a solo album.
Details of the album are still to be announced, but, Pitchfork reports, Tweedy will be playing songs from the album on a solo North American tour, set to start at Detroit’s Masonic Temple on June 5 and finishing up at the iconic Newport Folk Festival in July.
Tweedy will be backed by a new band on the tour, with son Spencer Tweedy on drums, Jim Elkington on guitar, Darin Gray on bass and Liam Cunningham on keys.
The frontman recently made a guest appearance in US TV series Parks And Recreation. Tweedy appeared as the frontman of a fictional band called Land Ho!, who was lobbied by Amy Poehler’s character, government worker Leslie Knope.
The programme’s producer Mike Schur explained further: “Leslie and Andy are trying to convince him to reunite for the big Unity Concert they are organising to solidify the merger of Pawnee and Eagleton.”
