Wilco’s frontman performed a solo rendition of his new song and confirmed the band’s spot on Willie Nelson’s traveling festival this summer.
Jeff Tweedy appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week for a solo performance of his recent song “Lou Reed Was My Babysitter.” The track, a wry reflection on artistic influence and memory, is taken from his 2024 solo album “Love Is The King.” The televised spot offered a straightforward, intimate presentation of the material.
In related news, Tweedy’s band Wilco has been confirmed as part of the 2024 Outlaw Music Festival tour. The traveling lineup, headlined by Willie Nelson, will run through the summer and fall. This places Wilco within a legacy-oriented Americana circuit, a fitting context for the band’s current position in the rock landscape.
The dual announcements underscore Tweedy’s sustained parallel paths: maintaining a personal songwriting outlet while steering Wilco’s ongoing role as a festival-stage institution.
