When singer/songwriter and
Wilco frontman
Jeff Tweedy initially began working on his first solo album, he began demoing and rehearsing the songs at home with his son Spencer on drums. Although he envisioned it primarily as a solo project, as Spencer became more and more involved it was decided that they would issue the album as a duo under the family name
Tweedy. Released in August 2014 on
Wilco's dBpm label, their debut,
Sukierae, captures all the weary warmth of
Jeff Tweedy's distinctive Americana/pop style with a stripped-down, decidedly homemade feel. On-stage the duo is joined by guitarist Jim Elkington, bassist
Darin Gray, and keyboardist Liam Cunningham. ~ Timothy Monger
