Wilco with special guest Waxahatchee

CRITIC’S PICK
Sat. May 10

Wilco, Waxahatchee, Synovus Bank Amphitheater at Chastain Park — Few bands have traveled a path as unusual as that of Wilco. Frontman Jeff Tweedy has navigated their course from post-Uncle Tupelo alt-country twangers to the experimental indie rockers they have become. Their current sound, as exemplified on 2023s Cousin, continues that idiosyncratic direction, weaving and turning songs inside-out, ignoring established structures to wend their way through the often atmospheric haze. Like Neil Young, you never know what they’ll pull out, which is part of the fun. Opener Waxahatchee rides an alt-indie/Americana wave of popularity due to introspective music closer in approach to Wilco’s earlier days. — Hal Horowitz
