The Wilco frontman steps in to amplify a Philadelphia songwriter whose retro-tinted indie-pop has quietly built a strong word-of-mouth following.
Two decades after Wilco and Billy Bragg set Woody Guthrie’s unused lyrics to music, they performed the Mermaid Avenue album live together for the first time, joined by Natalie Merchant at MASS MoCA.
The pair performed a rendition of UMO’s “Ffunny Ffrends,” preceded by an interview between Tweedy and Nick Offerman.
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.
