Jeff Tweedy + Peter Grosz at Emanuel Congregation
Sharing a hometown with Wilco guarantees some proximity-related perks, such as frequent performances by the band and frontman Jeff Tweedy. Granted, Tweedy's solo shows have become more infrequent lately, and when they do occur, admission tends to be somewhat steep because he has the audacity to play for charity. (The nerve!) This Emanuel Congregation show is no different—the concert benefits the venue—but it also has the distinction of occurring just a month after Wilco released its seventh album. Expect to hear some solo renditions of songs off Wilco (The Album), plus the usual barrage of wide-ranging covers Tweedy and his band love to pull out at shows. The Colbert Report writer Peter Grosz opens the show with some pointed stand-up.
