Wilco with Okkervil River

AEG Live is thrilled to announce WILCO performing live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre Friday, July 3, 2009.

Wilco have announced their first North American tour dates of 2009 as part of another historic year for the Chicago rock band Wilco -- the group formed by guitarist and songwriter Jeff Tweedy in the mid-1990s. Wilco are: Jeff Tweedy - guitars, vocals; John Stirratt - bass, vocals; Glenn Kotche - drums, percussion; Nels Cline - guitars; Pat Sansone - guitars, keyboards, vocals; Mike Jorgensen - keyboards, vocals.  The band is presently working in their Chicago loft on a new studio album, which is tentatively scheduled for a June release on Nonesuch Records. The as-yet-untitled work is the follow up to 2007's Sky Blue Sky.   In addition, Nonesuch Records has released the band's new concert DVD, Ashes of American Flags, as of Saturday, April 18 at independent retailers nationwide as part of national Record Store Day. The DVD is also available now from wilcoworld.net and nonesuch.com.  A broader release through iTunes, Amazon.com and chain retail outlets will follow on April 28.

As an exclusive bonus to anyone purchasing Ashes of American Flags before April 28, one complete concert drawn from a show featured in the film will be available for audio download. This exclusive concert download will only be available via an embedded link on the DVD from April 18 to April 27. This is in addition to the 20 full songs featured in the DVD and downloadable to everyone who purchases it.  Mixing live concert footage with band interviews, the DVD takes the viewer behind the scenes of Wilco's 2008 U.S. tour capturing both the expansive experience of rolling across America in a tour bus and the intimacy that happens night after night between the members of Wilco and the music they make, and between the band and their fans who come to experience it with them. Shot in High Definition, Ashes of American Flags is a Trixie production in association with Nonesuch Records and dBpm, Inc.
