It’s been nearly 20 years since Wilco rose from the ashes of influential alt-country band, Uncle Tupelo.

Since then, the Chicago-based band has done some extremely influential work of their own.

They’ve received mountains of critical acclaim for their eight studio albums, won two Grammy Awards for their 2004 release, A Ghost is Born, and have been nominated for six others since their 1999 collaboration with folk artist Billy Bragg, Mermaid Avenue.

They’re bad mammer-jammers, and they’re coming to Fayetteville for a show at the Arkansas Music Pavilion on May 10.

Also, we’ve got four pairs of tickets to give away to the show. Try to win ’em.
