After holding a preview party on Tuesday (9/28), new Bushwick venue Brooklyn Made opened their doors for real on Thursday and Friday (9/30 and 10/1) for a pair of sold-out shows with Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy, and support from Kate Bollinger (on night one) and Joanna Sternberg (on night two). Each night featured an entirely different setlist -- the only repeated song was a cover of Bob Dylan's "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You" -- and pulled from Tweedy's solo material, Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, Loose Fur, and Golden Smog songs, and covers of The Beatles, Mavis Staples, and Arthur Russell.
With over 200 episodes of his pandemic-era livestream series The Tweedy Show under his belt, Jeff felt more accessible and playful than at a usual Wilco show, and audience members tried to engage him throughout the set (the small size of the venue contributed to the intimate feel, too).
