Mermaid Avenue Lives Again

This Friday night, a legendary album gets its live debut—“Mermaid Avenue,” a hauntingly beautiful project born from Woody Guthrie’s unreleased lyrics, brought to life by Billy Bragg and Wilco. What started as a simple tape and big dream evolved into a profound musical journey through Guthrie’s archives, shaped by deep creative chemistry and personal struggles. The album not only earned critical acclaim but also launched Wilco’s career, influencing their future work. Now, decades later, Billy Bragg and Wilco reunite for the first-ever full live performance of the album at the Solid Sound Festival—with Woody’s daughter Nora in attendance—making it a powerful, full-circle moment for these timeless songs.
