episode 15: Jeff Tweedy
Singer and songwriter Jeff Tweedy discusses cherished memories from his childhood kitchen in Illinois,
and the invaluable time he spent at his kitchen table with his mother, and he explains how his favorite
home-cooked dish today–known simply as The Dish–became a Tweedy family hit.
Jeff Tweedy is an American songwriter, musician, and record producer best known as the singer and
guitarist of the band Wilco. Born and raised in Belleville, Illinois, Tweedy started his music career in high
school with Jay Farrar and their band The Plebes (which later became Uncle Tupelo). After Uncle
Tupelo's fourth studio album, the band broke up in 1994, prompting Tweedy to form Wilco. Wilco found
critical and commercial success on their albums Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and A Ghost Is Born; the latter
went on to receive a Grammy for Best Alternative Album in 2005. Across Tweedy's career, he has
released fifteen studio albums: four with Uncle Tupelo, ten with Wilco, and one with his son Spencer,
along with numerous collaborations with other musicians. He is the author of several books, including his
memoir Let’s Go (So We Can Get Back) and most recently, World Within a Song.
Tweedy lives with his wife, Sue Miller, in Chicago. They have two sons, Spencer and Sammy.
