Wilco Performs & Jeff Tweedy Sings Colbert A Lullaby On ‘Late Show’

On Thursday night Wilco made their first appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, where they not only performed a song off Star Wars but front man Jeff Tweedy helped end the show by singing the host a lullaby. While Wilco had yet to visit Colbert during his tenure as host of The Late Show, they appeared on The Colbert Report in 2008.

Wilco is in the middle of a series of NYC area shows that continues tonight at the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn. The band performed the Star Wars track “Random Name Generator” on last night’s episode of Colbert. Stephen ended the episode by asking Tweedy to sing him a lullaby to which Jeff compiled.
