The Tweedy Show was a literal dream come true. Thank you for continuing this connection. “Trust Jeff” is a good motto. You haven’t let me down yet.

It was great seeing people wearing Tweedy Show tshirts at the concert in Spokane last night. Fellow clients!

This is very exciting! I look forward to your continuing inspiration through your music, writing, and thoughts. From what I can tell, you're an amazing husband and father! We have a ton in common. You've really made me think about how I treat people and fans of mine, in a vrey productive way. I hope one day we can actually meet. Let's go! Full speed ahead!

Jeff K., I like how your art has become synonymous with the Tweedy Show. I am always asked about the show when I'm wearing your tee shirt!

So excited for this: the past 17 months with you and your family has been such a gift. I can’t imagine any other artist I’ve loved and admired opening themselves to fans in such a loving and comforting and often hilarious way. Look forward to this next avenue to connect

I don’t have the words to describe what The Tweedy Show has meant to me. It’s one of the kindest things anyone has ever done for me, and that’s not a low bar. You’ll just have to take my word for it.

The Tweedy Show filled a hole that I hadn’t yet realized was growing inside. We planned our nights around making sure we were ready to bounce our iPhone to the TV at 10pm EST. It was like getting together with family…yours and my extended family I made all the way back at the beginnings of Via Chicago. Communication through the chat was as helpful as watching you on screen. So thank you for helping me maintain those connections.

And then Grandma Norma was serenaded, thereby helping you gain possibly your most senior fan at 95 and 11/12ths.

I look forward to continuing the community here. I’m happy to be a Founding Client, because as someone suggested in The Tweedy Show comments, it’s a way to pay you and yours for the past year and a half. and I especially look forward to live shows…yours and every other one I can possibly fit in!!!

Thanks for this, Jeff! Your generosity is pretty unparalleled for not only a public figure, but also for just anyone! I look forward to the musings and content to come and infinite thanks to you and the family for all that The Tweedy Show has been and continues to be. I’m coming off way too enthusiastic for a Starship named Casual, though, so in that spirit…it’s cool…whatever you wanna do, man. I’ll just chill and eventually check my email and maybe I’ll see something from you…maybe not…either way y’know

The Tweedy Show has literally been the most consistent bright spot in these past 16 months of darkness. Thank you for opening up your home to us, sharing your family, your music, your sense of humor, your calm perspective, etc. Love you and Sue and Spencer and Sammy (not to mention the rest of the family), and it’s been great to talk to other clients throughout this time. ❤️❤️❤️

The Tweedy Show should win an Emmy, or a Webby, or better yet a humanitarian award for helping to save the sanity of your clients over the past 17 months. Ginormous thanks to you and Susie, Spencer, Sammy and the rest of your incredible family. So happy for this, and we can't wait to see you in Napa in October! BTW, really enjoyed both of your books!

I'm so here for this. Your family's generosity truly made the past 16 months more bearable, the only consistent thing I had going. Please include musings from Susie, Sammy and Spencer, because I'm realllly going to miss them. xo from Tampa

I would rather board Tweedy's Starship than Bezos's phallic-shaped rocket any day! Ready for blast off, and of course, Wilco tour! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and stellar songs. ✌️

Hi Jeff- I loved on last nights show (199) that you talked about One and a Half Stars being a song that has meaning for you, I can tell! It is definitely my fave on OTJ and I get emotional everytime I hear it (It is my go to I want to cry song right now). Love how strongly you help others connect with emotions. I look forward to hearing more about the songs that have particular meaning for you!

Hey, thanks for doing this! I don’t mind paying the extra money. As I said the first time I attended a Solid Sound, I felt like Harry Potter going to Hogwarts the first time: , “Oh shit, there are other people like me.”

Lol. Of course I’m a couple of days behind other clients but looking forward to hearing more from you. Thank you more than words can tell for the genuineness and caring continuity you and your wonderful family has so freely given this past year plus. The Tweedy Show has been a real anchor for me and so many other folks. I look forward to hearing so much more from you, and I’m glad to support you for all you share.

Thank you for sharing with us for the last year and a half and letting us into your home. The Tweedy Show kept me going through that time and I always look forward to every show. I wore my Tweedy Show t-shirt for both shots in my arm.

Hi Jeff. Thanks for doing this substack. Can’t wait to read your newsletters. I don’t know that I’ve ever encountered a more loving and generous family. It has been wonderful to be a part of this community. With love and gratitude…
