The Scene

MusicDetour.com’s commentary on music, performances, and the DC metro area music scene

Good news for all of the folk-indie rock fans out there. Wilco is playing at Wolf Trap on Wednesday, July 8th at 8pm. As always, Wolf Trap is a phenomenal venue to catch a show with its BYOB policy and cheap food within the gate. Touring with their (or rather Jeff Tweedy’s) most recent releast “Wilco (The Album)”, which is not getting the best reviews, yet the band is still managing to book big venues despite everything it’s been through. Honestly, I like Wilco only because they (or Tweedy at least) had the guts to stand-up to their record label work out a better deal – and it should be clear at this point that most record deals are exploitative. So pack your picnic basket and check-out Wilco with opening band Conor Oberst and the Mysic Valley Band.
