About
Wilco, a renowned American rock band based in Chicago, graced the NPR Music Tiny Desk concert with their presence, showcasing their talent and grace that has endeared them to a loyal fanbase. The band, formed in 1994 after the breakup of Uncle Tupelo, consists of members Jeff Tweedy, John Stirratt, Nels Cline, Pat Sansone, Mikael Jorgensen, and Glenn Kotche. Their music, inspired by artists like the Beatles and Television, has evolved from country rock to a diverse indie rock sound.
At the Tiny Desk concert, Wilco performed three new songs from their album "The Whole Love" and an old favorite, delighting fans and NPR staff members with their acoustic guitars, keyboards, and tiny amps. The band's journey, marked by critical acclaim and Grammy wins for albums like "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" and "A Ghost Is Born," showcases their resilience in the face of industry challenges. Their latest album, "Cousin," released in September 2023, adds another chapter to Wilco's storied career.
