Wilco to perform at Winery at Eagle Knoll

Submitted by Michael Deeds on Thu, 05/15/2008 - 11:40am.

OK, now The Winery at Eagle Knoll is really, REALLY becoming an alt-country mecca this summer.

Wilco — aka the “five-letter Chicago band” to you crafty blog readers — will perform there Aug. 20, adding to a schedule that already includes Steve Earle (July 11, acoustic gig) and Neko Case (Aug. 29).

No, the Wilco gig isn't at the Idaho Botanical Garden in Boise — early indications had pointed that direction — but I doubt fans will complain about the short drive. The Winery at Eagle Knoll is a picturesque spot to see outdoor shows. Wilco is touring in support of its latest album, fittingly titled “Sky Blue Sky.”

Tickets to the concert will go on sale May 30 for $28 advance, $31 day of show, at the Record Exchange, Egyptian Theatre box office, Boise Co-op, or by calling 387-1273, or 345-0454 to leave a message.

Here's Wilco with "Jesus, Etc.," from their much-loved album "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot."

Great news. Thanks!

I'm still smarting about being out of town for the Steve Earle show, but this helps A LOT.

Yes, they are. Bring your own blankets and low-backed chairs.

Mr RSR and I saw Son Volt out there last summer. It's a beautiful place for a concert.

What's the capacity for this place?

I've been inside the winery but didn't check out the surrounding land (it was nighttime anyway).

Wilco certainly has a bigger drawing power than Steve Earle or Neko Case (or Son Volt for that matter). It seems like one of those shows where you need to get tickets not long after they go on sale.

I still think there should be a video from the SEVEN letter...

eponymously titled band at some point.

You've got to spread the faith to the grandkids of the ladies I met at the Chicago 17 concert!

The Winery is a lovely venue for a concert. I don't know what the capacity is, but I agree that you'll want to get your tickets early ("day of show?" I don't think so!).

What a treat to have all of these great concerts in our area this summer!

I saw Toad the Wet Sprocket out there a couple years ago; it's a great small venue.
