Jeff Tweedy

The Profile

American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and author; co-founder of Uncle Tupelo and frontman of Wilco. Known for blending alt-country with experimental and indie rock, and for the memoir Let’s Go (So We Can Get Back).

Born in Illinois and long associated with Chicago; co-founded Uncle Tupelo (with Jay Farrar) and later formed Wilco. Publicly discussed recovery from prescription drug addiction. Wilco’s albums include Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, A Ghost Is Born, Star Wars, and Schmilco; the Tweedy project with his son Spencer released Sukierae. Authored the memoir Let’s Go (So We Can Get Back).

Flo’s review of Jeff Tweedy’s memoir highlights a candid, self-ironic voice and an ‘anti-rockstar’ portrait. It traces family ties, addiction recovery, Uncle Tupelo’s end, and Wilco’s restless experimentation (from Star Wars to Schmilco). Anecdotes span label clashes around Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and humble hometown moments. The focus is vulnerability, not spectacle.
