A few nights ago I accompanied my wife Kristine to a psychic mediumship reading. I don’t honestly believe in any of it, but she does, and that’s what mattered. It took place in a restaurant with about 20 attendees and the psychic going from table to table. When the psychic gets to our table, instead of focusing on my wife, as I hoped she would, she turns to me and starts faux playing guitar. “I’m seeing a guitar player?” Playing her air guitar rather frantically, she continues that he passed too early from some sort of drugs, but it wasn’t his fault. That description fit no one I knew per

Thank you so much for the kind words...and yes, needless to say, I agree completely. (Well, I actually think The Whole Love is the best post Bennett Wilco album, but that's nitpicking...LOL)

As we get ready to celebrate the new Wilco record, or head off to Solid Sound (or both), let's give a moment to remember Jay Bennett, who passed away 13 years ago today at the age of 45. Certainly the band we know and love today would not be the same had it not been touched by the genius of Bennett. His memory is certainly a blessing... 1615682245_WhereareyouJayBennett--TRAILER2021-FINAL.mp4

Wilco fans...one week from tonight in Chicago, the World Premiere of my newest music documentary, Where are you, Jay Bennett? at the gorgeous Davis Theater. I took on this project because I truly believe the music made by Wilco during the Jay era is amongst the greatest rock and roll ever created. That Being There, Mermaid Avenue, Summerteeth, and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot are collectively as good as anything any band has ever released. This film is a tragic love story to Jay, Wilco and the music they created, as well as the gorgeous collection of records Jay released as a solo

TWO WEEKS FROM TONIGHT in CHICAGO! The WORLD PREMIERE of Where are you, Jay Bennett? at the amazing Davis Theater. A feature-length documentary on Jay Bennett, a legendary musician and recording studio savant, who as a member of Wilco, was a large part of the genius behind their three seminal albums (Being There, Summerteeth, and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot -- he co-wrote most of Summerteeth and YHF with Jeff Tweedy), as well as the Mermaid Avenue/Woody Guthrie sessions with Billy Bragg. Bennett went on to a critically acclaimed solo career, before dying tragic

Just want to say thank you to everyone who helped make the kickstarter campaign for Where are you, Jay Bennett? a success. I just finished the sound mix yesterday. As usually, Matt Gundy (this is our 13th film together) worked his magic. The film sounds GREAT! Can't wait for everyone to see it... Gorman P.S. If you're in Chicago, don't forget the world premiere at the Davis Theater on 11/15

Just 37 hours to go, but we're still $2500 short. Please show some love for a film about the man who played a big hand in what I know are 4 of your favorite Wilco albums...

Thank you!

We've got a little less than a week left for the final Where are you, Jay Bennett? kickstarter campaign. Please, if you haven't yet, check out the trailer, and consider backing the film.

And I promise the people on this board will LOVE this film! Please show Jay and the film some love...
