Wilco to Play A Prairie Home Companion This Week

Despite suffering a mild stroke a few weeks back, A Prairie Home Companion host Garrison Keillor has already gone back to work at his radio show, and just in time for this week’s guest: Wilco. This Thursday evening, special guests Wilco & Patty Loveless will take the Fitzgerald Theater stage in Saint Paul, MN for a performance and chat on the popular variety show.

If you happen to be in the Midwest, you can purchase tickets here, but the rest of us will be able to download or stream the broadcast from their site here after the show airs.

This will be Wilco’s second performance on A Prairie Home Companion, as they also stopped by while promoting Sky Blue Sky a few years back. You can listen to that performance here, but if you’re still aching for some Nels Cline guitar riffs, check out this recent video of Nels and Pat Sansone engaging in an impromptu guitar solo duel at a gig this summer (starts around 2:27):
