Wilco Take Twang on the Road

Wilco will hit the road this March for fourteen shows, including a March 12th stop at the Langerado Music Festival in Sunrise, Florida, beginning on March 5th in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Frontman Jeff Tweedy also kicks off a three-week solo tour of the West Coast Tuesday in Vancouver.

Wilco are currently at work on the follow-up to 2004's A Ghost Is Born, due in early 2007. The alt-country outfit has already laid down a few tracks in their Chicago studio.

But in the meantime, fans can expect new recordings from Wilco side projects -- including drummer Glenn Kotche's latest solo effort, Mobile, due March 7th. Kotche is opening for Tweedy on tour, through February 20th.

In addition, the Tweedy-Kotche experimental-rock project Loose Fur, with producer and multi-instrumentalist Jim O'Rourke (Beth Orton, Sonic Youth), will release their sophomore album, Born Again in the U.S.A., on March 21st. And bassist John Stirratt and Wilco's newest member, multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone, will tour as Autumn Defense this February.
