After years of experimentation and trend-setting in the realm of alternative rock, Wilco is finally leaning back on its country roots established by Uncle Tupelo with its 2022 album Cruel Country. In support of Cruel Country, Wilco in its full form will be coming to The Classic Center. One can lay praise on Wilco all day, and it would be like taking an eyedropper to the ocean. The mature and eclectic ensemble is a skilled musician’s kind of band. The opening act, however, is also intriguing. The A’s, an alternative indie folk band relatively new to the scene, is worth a serious listen, with baroque instrumentation and orchestral arrangements made from household objects.
WHO: Wilco
WHEN: Sunday, Apr. 23, 7:30 p.m.
