Feeling Like the Same Person on Stage and Off: The Jeff Tweedy Bonus Episode

In mid May, 2025, I spoke with Jeff Tweedy ahead of his show with Wilco in Charlotte, NC, and have been waiting for his forthcoming solo album to publish his interview here on Southern Songs and Stories. I was fortunate to get to listen to several songs from Twilight Override ahead of my conversation with Jeff Tweedy, and was one of, if not the first person to talk with him about the album, and especially about the song “Enough”. That conversation is coming in our next episode, once the full album is available in late September 2025, but here we bring you a bonus episode, with the part of our conversation that was broadcast on public radio WNCW the same afternoon, ahead of Wilco’s show at the Amp Ballantyne in Charlotte. <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > The Jeff Tweedy Band (photo: Rachel Bartz) Feeling Like the Same Person on Stage and Off: The Jeff Tweedy Bonus Episode Joe Kendrick Songs heard in this episode:“Out In The Dark” by Jeff Tweedy, from Twilight Override“How Hard Is It For Desert To Die” by Jeff Tweedy, featuring Karly Hatzman, from Cardinals at the Window: A Benefit For Flood Relief In Western North Carolina, excerpt“Enough” by Jeff Tweedy, from Twilight OverrideThank you for visiting!
