Wired Magazine's NextFest comes to Chicago next weekend, and as sort of a preview of what's to come, they've asked Jeff Tweedy of Wilco to curate a night of music next Wednesday, the 22nd at the Vic Theatre, which will also showcase a few of the innovations that will appear at the festival. So Jeff has chosen Joanna Newsom to headline, with Handsome Family opening. Joanna Newsom at the Vic???? I'm curious as to how many people will go simply because Jeff Tweedy is curating, knowing nothing about what she sounds like- we all know her voice takes some getting used to. Or maybe the indie snob in me is just coming out because I don't want my girl Joanna to get popular :) .
