Jeff Tweedy & Spencer Tweedy

May 13, 202016min 15sec

Jeff and Spencer are father-and-son bandmates in Tweedy, and musical collaborators across other projects, too. Jeff is the lead singer and songwriter of the band Wilco, so music would have always been a part of their family’s life, but making music together has been the way the two of them have connected since Spencer was a very young kid.

You can find their music at wilcoworld.net, and find them on Twitter at @jefftweedy and @spencertweedy.
