Tweedy is an American rock band composed of Jeff Tweedy , from the group Wilco , and his son, Spencer. The duo has released one album, Sukierae , in 2014.[ 1]
The elder Tweedy had planned Sukierae to be a solo record, but kept Spencer involved after playing together on early sessions.[ 2] The group's album name references Susie, Jeff's wife and Spencer's mother, who was diagnosed with cancer during the composition process.[ 3]
When touring, as of 2014 the group included bassist Darin Gray , guitarist Jim Elkington , keyboardist-guitarist Liam Kazar (Cunningham),[ 2] and sometimes singer Sima Cunningham (Liam's sister).[citation needed ]
Spencer Tweedy had played drums with his father on a previous record, Mavis Staples ' One True Vine , which Jeff Tweedy produced.[ 4]
