Wilco Builds a Festival for Itself
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — In the final stretch of the Solid Sound Festival on Sunday, under light rainfall and a darkening sky, Jeff Tweedy augmented his solo acoustic set with reinforcements. He enlisted members of the Autumn Defense, Pronto and the Nels Cline Singers, three very different groups that had played here over the previous three days. Or, to put it another way, he was leading a slightly modified version of Wilco, his steadfastly ambitious rock band. The patrons of this first-time event, held at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, were primed to appreciate the distinction.
