Jeff Tweedy Tickets

I've seen Wilco twenty times over the past fifteen years, but I's never seen Tweedy perform with his son before. In that way it felt more personal. It was obvious how proud he is of his boy and the music they make together, and it was a joy to watch father and son interact. While half the night is reserved for Tweedy songs, Wilco and Uncle Tupelo fans will enjoy the set Tweedy plays solo in the middle of the show that revisits his old catalogue. I went with three friends and we all had a fantastic time.

Awesome, fantastic voice great sound played all my favorite songs

Originally from Chicago I have been a fan J.T. since his early day and yes I have fond memories of Lounge Ax. As always Jeff Tweedy is a wonderful showman as well as songwriter. It was a pleasure to hear live his new songs along with his son.

The band Tweedy and Jeff Tweedy himself put on a great show. I would have liked to have heard more from the new album instead of the covers they performed near the end, but you can't argue with "California Stars" to end the show. One thing that was frustrating was the number of people filing in to their seats well after Tweedy started playing. Jeez, if it's so troublesome to get to your seats, just stay home and listen to the album! Even Jeff made mention of it and suggested the crowd show up on time for Sunday nights show! In spite of that, it was a great evening of music and was glad to have made the 200 mile journey to see it. Spencer Tweedy is a great drummer, a solid part of the rhythm section.

Curiosity is what brought me to the State Theatre to hear Jeff Tweedy perform with his son Spencer. The songs/sound are different enough from Wilco to make it an interesting concert. Jeff Tweedy, obviously, has lots of music bubbling out of his and it's good to see him be willing to perform with others, or solo, (ala Bruce Springsteen) whenever that seems the best way to go.

I was blown away by the originality and musicality of the new material. As a songwriter I was inspired to work harder! The band was so talented! I want to listen to those songs over and over to learn from them. Awesome!!!

The show was amazing. We love Jeff Tweedy he is so entertaining and funny. Just an all around great performer and musician. I can't wait to see him again at the Ryman it is such a great place. The Handsome Family who opened for him was very good. I had never seen them perform before but I definitely want to again. Just a Amazing night all around thank you everyone.

Having seen Wilco countless times, I expected my first Jeff Tweedy solo show to be an intimate acoustic affair featuring all the old favorites and a few surprises. I soon discovered, however, this was not Tweedy, but rather TWEEDY! Yes, Jeff has a new side-project featuring 18-year old son Spencer on drums. TWEEDY sailed through a full set of new songs, with nary a word of exposition. No band introduction, no song stories, and no stage banter at all until song four. Tweedy felt no explanation was necessary for TWEEDY. The songs had a familiar air to any Wilco fan and there were even a couple of nods to Loose Fur and Uncle Tupelo, but without intros, it was often difficult to find the correct aural context. I was slightly off-kilter. Not sure exactly where TWEEDY (or Tweedy) was taking me. The night's apparent standout, "Slow Love," benefitted greatly from an extended verbal intro and the Tweedy-led sing-along kick-off. It was the song everyone was talking about after the show, but it was unclear if it was because the song was so killer, or if it was simply the one we remembered due to the intro. All the TWEEDY songs were solid, but without context, it was often hard to evaluate. Let's be honest, we were waiting for some Wilco and maybe even Uncle Tupelo gems. At set's end, Jeff introduced the band. By the time he got around to introducing Spencer on drums, most of the crowd had already realized this was Jeff's son. We last saw him as a toddler in "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart." Now, having learned many a lick from Glenn Kotche, little Spencer is all grown up and playing in daddy's new band. Like everything he does, this incarnation felt genuine. Jeff has a restless side that he needs to explore occasionally, but his traditionalist streak keeps him from veering too far. Not exactly Wilco...not exactly Loose Fur...fairly far removed from Golden Smog...even further from Uncle Tupelo....TWEEDY offered songs that skewed only slightly from the path. Just enough surprises to keep us listening. After the TWEEDY set, Tweedy returned to the stage alone with just an acoustic guitar and harp. A quick run-through of "Via Chicago" let the diehards know they would get what they came for. Tweedy, not TWEEDY, turned in another full set of old favorites that featured the obvious ("Jesus, etc.") and the unexpected ("Radio King"). TWEEDY, the band returned to close out the set and delivered the biggest surprise of the night: a very endearing performance of Doug Sahm's "Give Back the Keys to My Heart." This song was famously covered by Uncle Tupelo on "Anodyne" and performed as a duet between Sahm and Jay Farrar. I expected a swerve or two, but I did not expect Jeff Tweedy to be singing a song so closely associated with Jay Farrar. After a quick run-through of "California Stars," the band left and Tweedy took to the front of the stage, sans electricity, no mic, no amps, just Jeff, his guitar and a few hundred friends for an old-school run-through of "Acuff-Rose." Fitting, haunting, and wildly endearing at the Ryman, but I've seen it before. I was expecting it. Looking forward to it, actually. Somehow, it didn't have the same impact this time around. TWEEDY the band stood tall during the first half of the show, but it was obvious that the fans were there for Tweedy the man. His acoustic set showed that the Tweedy songbook, in development for over 20 years, is a robust and still expanding work. Tweedy joked that his wife only knows the title to one song ("Pecan Pie") and chided the audience for not being able to keep time, cheering the wrong guitar part in "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" and rushing him into starting a song called "Slow Love," but it was all part of the lovefest. Tweedy let the audience know just four songs into the night that the Ryman was the greatest venue on the planet. And, by extension, Nashville and the fans in the building were the best. It's said in every venue, but at the Ryman you feel the artists really mean it. The crowd reciprocated. This may have been a TWEEDY show, but it was a Tweedy audience.

Show was good. It was Wilco Lite. Great to see Tweedy and his son up on stage together. He must be a proud father.

Jeff Tweedy is among only a handful of artists that could pull off what he is pulling off with his summer solo tour. The first half of the concert was rapid-fire material that NO ONE HAD EVER HEARD BEFORE with the top-notch band, including his son Spencer on drums. The songs were Wilcoesqe but not....Very nice harmonic structures throughout. One, the last one of the first half, was even a sing-a-long of a song, I REPEAT, we had never heard before. A wonderful, amazing first half. Despite attending seven Wilco shows, this was my first Tweedy concert. He did not disappoint. He lived up to his legendary banter reputation. Hearing classic Wilco tunes on an acoustic guitar song by their composer...... transcendental bliss. The encore included the world premiere of this bands version of "You Are Not Alone," penned by Tweedy for Mavis Staples.

What a great show! I loved seeing Jeff Tweedy and his band. He was fun and interactive with the audience and is such an amazing performer. I enjoyed seeing him play with his son Spencer, on drums. Fun night and can't wait to see him again.

The whole band was excellent, Jeff Tweedy's son was great on the drums. Liked the older stuff the best, when Jeff played solo. The Wilco songs cannot be beat.

After a very disapointing opening act, Tweety came on and performed an hour of new material, pausing just long enough to explain that it was all new material and thanking the audience for their patience. This garnered lots of applause as did the introduction of the band members which included Tweedy's son on drums. The solo half of the performance was all familiar WILCO songs, quite worth waiting for. Tweedy's interaction with the audience was typical and entertaining. I laughed more during Tweedy's exchanges with the audience than during the warm-up acts entire set.

Minus 5 opened and played a short set, but the Tweedy, played for two hours and over 25 songs, including a solo mini-set, of favorites.

Amazing show at a beautiful venue. Not even a brief power outage could dampen the spirits or the performance of a two-set show from Jeff, or a stellar opening act from the Minus Five. Jeff great as always.

Tweedy busted through at least 8 songs off their upcoming album before pausing to take a breath and chat with the audience. The new songs ranged in style from straight up rock to discordant to soft and lyrical. All really solid and enjoyable. Jeff played a set of 8 or 10 solo acoustic (mostly Wilco, a couple Uncle Tupelo) songs before bringing the band back out for the encore. Note to future concert-goers... request songs for your show on the Wilco website... apparently they actually check this to plan their playlist for the night and not many people take advantage of it. Jeff's banter with the audience was highly entertaining once he got warmed up. And his obvious pride in playing with his son was endearing.

freaking awesome. incredible show, great venue. wish i could do it all over again!

Jeff Tweedy played what must be the entire solo album coming out this fall with a non-Wilco band and kept everyone's attention even though we didn't know a single song - at least for the first 50 mins. The band was very good (incl his 18 yr old son on drums), but I couldn't help but think that most of these songs would get an even better treatment played by Wilco. Then he dismissed the band and played solo for 40 mins doing what he called requests, i.e. lots of Wilco songs. Just him and his acoustic guitar. It was all terrific. For some reason the opening act was a comedian, doing stand-up. Besides this being an odd opening act (I haven't ever been to a concert with a comedy opener), this guy was horrible. We went to the lobby after we endured the first 10 mins of his act - and we weren't the only ones. Prob half of the audience was there by the time the break came.

Tweedy's been playing for so long now that you know what your're getting at his shows, and he delivered in grand fashion. Very cool to see him debuting new material with his son playing drums!

Awesome show! Tweedy is amazing! Great venue. Would definitely go again.
