Wilco fans in Alabama can mark their calendars for two shows here in 2023, as the Grammy-winning rock band tours to promote its latest album, “Cruel Country.”

Wilco is set to perform on Saturday, April 22, at Avondale Brewing Co., 201 41st St. In Birmingham. The A’s — a new band formed by Sylvan Esso’s Amelia Meath and Daughter of Swords’ Alexandra Sauser-Monnig — will open the show at 6:30 p.m.

Wilco will stop in Huntsville on Monday, April 24, at the Von Braun Center’s Mark C. Smith Concert Hall, 700 Monroe St. Southwest. The A’s also are on the bill, opening at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets for both shows go on sale at 10 a.m. CT on Friday, Jan. 20, via Ticketmaster. Prices in Birmingham are $49.50 for general admission, $69.50 for premium pit access, plus service charges. (This show is standing room only.) Prices in Huntsville are $49.50, $59.50, $69.50 and $79.50, plus service charges.

Various pre-sales for both shows run from Wednesday morning through Friday morning, according to Ticketmaster. Promoter Red Mountain Entertainment, which is part of Live Nation. announced the Alabama shows on Tuesday.

Wilco, led by singer-guitarist Jeff Tweedy, plans a spring tour in March and April that includes three-night residencies in its hometown of Chicago, March 23-26; Port Chester, New York, March 30-April 1; and Reykjavík, Iceland, April 6-8. After that, the band moves on to shows in the Southeast, in cities such as Charleston, South Carolina (April 16); Athens, Georgia (April 23); Nashville (April 25); Knoxville, Tennessee (April 27); and Greensboro, North Carolina (April 29).

Wilco has a dozen studio albums to its credit, 1995-present, but is probably best known for 2001-2002′s “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot,” an experimental rock epic that raised eyebrows at the time but is now considered a classic. The band reissued the album in 2022 for its 20th anniversary, in a “super deluxe edition” that has been nominated for two Grammys this year, for Best Historical Album and Best Album Notes. (Winners will be announced on Feb. 5.)

“Cruel Country,” released in May 2022, is a double album that was mostly recorded live at The Loft, the band’s studio in Chicago. All 21 songs were written by Tweedy.

Wilco is a favorite in Alabama, and has played here several times in the past, including a memorable performance on Feb. 13, 2005, in Birmingham. The band skipped the Grammys ceremony to play at the Alabama Theatre, although they were highly touted as a nominee. Wilco won the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album for “A Ghost Is Born,” and celebrated its win that night with an audience in Birmingham.

“It was simply one of those times when you were glad to be in Birmingham,” AL.com said in its concert review. “Mostly, the men of Wilco put their heads down and played like the dickens. They offered a jubilant selection of music, much of it pulled from complex, layered albums such as ‘Yankee Hotel Foxtrot’ and ‘A Ghost Is Born.’ [Frontman Jeff] Tweedy, although notoriously crabby in the past, seemed serenely in control on Sunday, nailing his spiky guitar solos with aplomb.”

Tweedy also has performed in Alabama as a solo artist, and offered an exemplary guy-with-guitar show at Birmingham’s Lyric Theatre in March 2019.

“When a musician is this talented — and this confident — all that’s required is a voice, a guitar and a deep, rich songbook,” AL.com said in its review. “Tweedy needed nothing more to put on an impressive show at 8:30 p.m., taking the audience on a journey that was wry, thoughtful and astringently poetic. He spent 90 minutes on stage at the Lyric, playing 22 songs pulled from the catalogs of Uncle Tupelo, Wilco and his own work as a solo artist.

“When a concert goes by in a twinkling, you know the performer’s doing something right; Tweedy could have played for another hour and kept his listeners’ rapt attention. It was clear that the 750-seat theater was packed with admirers — tickets immediately sold out when they went on sale in November — and folks in attendance showered Tweedy with rowdy affection via shouts, whoops, laughter, applause and cheers.”

Along with Tweedy, Wilco includes guitarist Nels Cline, bassist John Stirratt, drummer Glenn Kotche, multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone and keyboard/synth player Mikael Jorgensen.
