Wilco

In the live recording "Wilco Live in Ottawa Hummingbird," captured on March 2, 2010 at the National Arts Centre, Wilco was riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album "Sky Blue Sky," released in 2007. This album marked a notable shift towards a more accessible sound, blending rock with elements of folk and Americana—a departure from their earlier, more experimental work. By the time of this performance, the band had solidified their reputation as one of America's most innovative groups, known for their captivating live shows. Interestingly, during this period, Wilco was also dealing with a lineup change, as they welcomed drummer Glenn Kotche and guitarist Nels Cline, further enriching their sound. This live show encapsulates a transformative time for Wilco, showcasing their evolution and the intimate connection they forged with audiences.
