Jeff Tweedy's first solo album of entirely new original material, WARM, is out this Friday on dBpm Records. In advance of this occasion, Jeff has shared a new video for "I Know What It's Like," a new song off the album, and announced a solo US tour for early 2019. Tickets for the newly announced dates go on sale this Friday at 7PM local time. Tickets can be purchased at wilcoworld.net/shows.
Additionally, Jeff (with band) will be performing songs from WARM via a live-stream this Saturday, Dec. 1st, at 8pm CST. The stream can be viewed and embedded via this YouTube link.
WARM was produced and recorded entirely by Jeff at Chicago’s now legendary studio, The Loft (with help from some of his usual collaborators – Spencer Tweedy, Glenn Kotche and Tom Schick). Although not an official companion-piece to his newly released memoir, LET’S GO (SO WE CAN GET BACK): A Memoir of Recording and Discording with Wilco, Etc., the two works are inextricably linked by time (the two were created concurrently) and topic (some of the stories Jeff mined for his book appear in some form on the album, and the lyrics for many songs off the record close out his book).
Jeff just completed his sold out book tour of the east coast and Midwest, which treated audiences to candid conversations with Wilco fans and friends like Ira Kaplan, Abbi Jacobson, Jon Hamm, and more. Stay tuned for the release of a few of these conversations in audio-form in the coming months.
