Jeff Tweedy e Case Oats

Starting his musical days in the band Uncle Tulepo in 1987, Jeff gained experience touring and writing music whilst gaining a cult following on the alternative country music scene. However due to inter-band disputes, Uncle Tulepo ceased to exist in 1994 and all the original members parted ways. Later that year Tweedy formed a new band with John Stirratt, Max Johnston, and Ken Coomer called Wilco.

The band had a more alternative rock sound and quickly became a momentous success in the States. Despite not charting on initial release, their first record 'A.M' has now sold over 150,000 copies in the US. The eight albums they have released have all peaked higher than their predecessor, with 2009's self titled release remaining their highest chart position at #4 and 2002's 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' remaining their best seller with over 600,000 units sold.

'A Ghost Is Born' is the band's most critically successful release. It won two Grammy awards; one for Best Alternative Music Album and one for Best Recording Package which was awarded to the art director. The album was also nominated for the prestigious Shortlist Music Prize in 2004. Jeff would often tour solo during his career mainly playing acoustic versions of Wilco songs along with some of his own material, in 2014 he announced he was working on a solo project entitled Tweedy with his son Spencer. An album entitled 'Sukierae' was released in September.
