IU Auditorium and Live Nation proudly present the WTTS "Rock to Read" performance of Wilco with William Tyler on Friday, September 25, as they celebrate the release of their newest album: Star Wars.

Wilco redefined the genre of alt-country by fusing the beer-soaked sound of Midwestern country bars with the ethos of punk (although it could’ve also been the other way around), to become one of the most significant American acts of the past two decades.

While their earliest work isn’t all that removed from the twangy earnestness of their band predecessor Uncle Tupelo, Wilco quickly broadened both the scope and ambition of their music, and by the early years of the 21st century, had shattered expectations with a string of genre-bending releases that incorporated lush arrangements, electronic flourishes, and influences ranging from soul to psychedelia.

As a WTTS "Rock to Read" performance, $2 of each ticket sold will be donated to support children's reading programs in our community.
