After 25 years making music, Jeff Tweedy and Wilco have run the gamut of indie rock. You’re invited to experience Jeff’s incredible catalog up close and personal when you invite the singer to your home for a once-in-a-lifetime private acoustic concert. Hear 30 songs for 30 of your guests—choose Jeff’s setlist, including your favorite recordings from classic Wilco albums like “A.M.” and “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” in this one-of-a-kind performance. This is a rare chance to have one of contemporary Americana’s greatest songwriters play a raw, stripped-down set just for you and your friends.

I think about using a portion of my retirement savings when I retire in 3 1/2 years to fund a Living Room Show Retirement Party, but that would be irresponsible.

Been to three living room shows, played with Jeff all three times. Three of the most memorable nights of my life.

I was extremely lucky to be in a class at the Old Town School of Folk Music called the Wilco Ensemble. One of the members bid and won for several years. The people that were invited pitched in for the cost of it. When Jeff found out that the people who were coming played his songs in the Wilco ensemble, he offered to play with us instead of just for us. We made groups and picked 3 songs per group, sent him the list and he played them with us.
