Bloomington, Indiana — November 20, 2025

Jeff Tweedy returned to Bloomington on Thursday night with the quiet confidence of an artist who’s learned to make intimacy feel electric. Touring behind Twilight Override, the Wilco frontman turned the cozy Buskirk-Chumley Theater into a living room of warm-glow guitars, wry storytelling, and the kind of lyrical honesty that makes you lean in without realizing it. Singer-songwriter Sima Cunningham opened the evening with a spellbinding minimalist set, setting the tone for a night built on nuance rather than volume.

But the encore was where Tweedy truly loosened the threads. Opening with the album’s namesake “Twilight Override,” he moved through the spectral “Family Ghost” and delivered a salute to Jason Molina with “Doing Something Wrong.” A surprise, joyful cover of “I Want You Back” lit up the theater before Tweedy sent everyone home with “Enough,” a soft, steady exhale of a finale.

It was the kind of show that rolled by quietly but left an unmistakable glow. Proof that even decades into his career, Tweedy can still make a room feel seen, soothed, and just a little bit transformed.
