Highly Anticipated Jeff Tweedy Concert Nears

There is only one more week to wait for the most anticipated concert of the year (and such a young year it is). Jeff Tweedy's performance at Marfa's Liberty Hall promises to be memorable experience for anyone who can make their way in. The show this Sunday the 21st, which is presented by Ballroom Marfa, is completely sold out. Ballroom has this to say about Tweedy on their site:

Jeff Tweedy, indie-rock iconoclast and singer-songwriter of singular contemporary influence, brings his sprawling American vision to West Texas for an evening solo performance on January 21st. Tweedy's name has long been associated with the alternative-country movement he helped spawn in the late 80's with the groundbreaking group Uncle Tupelo. A series of collaborations, projects, and acclaimed releases with his own band Wilco have since revealed an experimental and relentlessly creative spirit that confounds simple categorization. Tweedy's voice, a ghostly summons, and his lyrics - imbued at times with an elemental wit, pain and anxiety, and shimmering in other moments with a strange, cryptic beauty - are uniquely suited to the intimate grandeur of Marfa's Liberty Hall.

Tickets have been popping up on eBay lately here. A pair of tix received 26 bids and ended at a high selling price of 115.00 on January 5th. (20 tix left thru The Ballroom at 10:30 Friday Morning.)
