Tweedy (band)
Tweedy is an American rock band composed of Jeff Tweedy, from the group Wilco, and his son, Spencer. The duo has released one album, Sukierae, in 2014.[1] Spencer Tweedy had played drums with his father on a previous record, Mavis Staples' One True Vine, where Jeff Tweedy produced.[2] The elder Tweedy had planned Sukierae to be a solo record, but kept Spencer involved after playing together in early sessions of the album.[3] The group's album name references Susie, Jeff's wife and Spencer's mother, who was diagnosed with cancer during the composition process.[4] When touring, the group includes bassist Darin Gray, guitarist Jim Elkington, keyboardist-guitarist Liam Cunningham and singer Sima Cunningham.[3]
