Wilco

In 2014, when Wilco performed 'California Stars' at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, they were riding high on the wave of their album 'Star Wars,' which had been released a month earlier. This album, a surprise free release, showcased their adventurous spirit and willingness to explore new sounds, reflecting the band's growth and evolution over the years. Notably, the performance of 'California Stars,' a song originally written by Woody Guthrie and arranged by Wilco and Billy Bragg, captures a sense of nostalgia and warmth that resonates deeply with fans. It's a fine example of how Wilco blends folk roots with experimental rock, and this live rendition further emphasizes their dynamic presence as a live band. A fun fact: despite being formed in the mid-90s, Wilco continues to reinvent themselves, staying relevant in the ever-changing music scene.
