Wilco

In June 2011, Wilco was riding high on the success of their album "The Whole Love," which had been released just a few months earlier in September 2011. This performance of "California Stars" at the Solid Sound Festival is particularly special because it features Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion. The song, co-written by Woody Guthrie, connects the band to the rich fabric of American folk history, bridging generations through music. Additionally, this live recording showcases Wilco's ability to reinterpret classic tunes, blending their own unique sound with Guthrie's legacy. This period marked a time of creative exploration for Wilco, as they continued to evolve their sound while celebrating their roots, making their live performances even more impactful.
