From Illinois to California
The tour kicks off with Tweedy’s appearance at the Evanston Folk Festival in Illinois, where he’ll participate in an in-conversation series on 9/8. This is followed by a solo performance at Chicago Live! on 9/21 at Navy Pier’s Lake Stage at Polk Bros Park.
Spotlight on Love Is the King

The album, launched alongside his book How to Write One Song, showcases Tweedy’s introspective songwriting and musical versatility.
