Wilco return to the St. Augustine Amphitheatre with their “Sweet and Sour Spring 2025” tour featuring opener Waxahatchee on Wednesday, April 30. Thankfully for local fans of the band’s mercurial and experimental guitar-rich sound, the band have made Northeast Florida a regular stop on their recent tours.
Formed in Chicago in 1994 and helmed by singer-songwriter Jeff Tweedy, Wilco has released more than a dozen studio albums, a live double record, and collaborations with Billy Bragg and the Minus 5. The multiple Grammy Award-winning band has undergone some key lineup changes over the years, but their current iteration—featuring Tweedy (vocals and guitar); Nels Cline (guitar): Pat Sansone (keyboards, guitar, vocals, percussion); Mikael Jorgensen (keyboards); John Stirratt (bass guitar and vocals) and Glenn Kotche (drums and percussion)—has been the main lineup for more than 20 years.
Wilco’s are touring in support of a vast catalog of songs and highlighting two major catalog reissues: an expanded three-LP version of 2010’s The Whole Love (April 2024, dBpm) and a deluxe nine LP/four CD box set of 2004’s A Ghost Is Born (out February 7, Nonesuch). In addition, the band plans to include material from their 2023 full-length studio album Cousin and 2024’s Hot Sun Cool Shroud EP.
Only sweetening their upcoming St. Augustine performance, opening act Katie Crutchfield, aka Waxahatchee, is an acclaimed Alabama-born indie-folk singer-songwriter. Lauded by NPR, The New York Times and Pitchfork, Waxahatchee’s 2024 release Tigers Blood was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Americana Album.
Wilco performs with Waxahatchee at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 30 at St. Augustine Amphitheatre. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, January 17 and are available here.
