Tweedy is an American rock band composed of Jeff Tweedy, from the group Wilco, and his son, Spencer. The duo has released one album, Sukierae, in 2014.{{Cite web|url = https://www.spin.com/2014/06/jeff-tweedy-son-ill-sing-it-stream-sukierae-album/|title = Jeff Tweedy and Son Start Band, Share Gritty 'I'll Sing It'|date = June 4, 2014|accessdate = |website = SPIN|publisher = SpinMedia|last = |first = }}
