Wilco is an American rock band based in Chicago, Illinois. The band was formed by musician and songwriter Jeff Tweedy and bassist John Stirratt in 1994 after the breakup of alternative country group Uncle Tupelo. While originally playing a musical style similar to Uncle Tupelo's previous recordings, Wilco is now mostly known for its rock, alternative rock and, sometimes, experimental style. The band's current line-up also features guitarist Nels Cline, drummer Glenn Kotche, multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone and pianist Mikael Jorgensen. The band has released six studio albums, a live album, and two tribute albums to American folk musician Woody Guthrie in collaboration with English musician Billy Bragg. Their fifth studio album A Ghost Is Born won two Grammy Awards for the best alternative album and for best recording package in 2005.

    Wilco in the news

    It's not often you see a photo in National Geographic and on the cover of a hit record. But wildlife photographer Manuel Presti's "Sky Chase" is the cover of Wilco's new album "Sky Blue Sky" and it ran as a spread in the July National Geographic as part of a story on swarm theory.

    Rob Wilco, the main human character in the “Get Fuzzy” comic in The Olympian and elsewhere, has been wearing a T-shirt that reads “Darby’s Cafe, Olympia” since June 21. The artist had a friend who used to live in Olympia, and “There’s no good vegetarian restaurants in Boston,” Conley said. “He talked about the Darby Cafe like I would have known..."
