Music

Wilco

Wilco brings three decades of independent music to Thalia Mara Hall. The Chicago rock band has released 13 studio albums, earned multiple Grammy Awards, and established their own label, dBpm Records, along with the Solid Sound festival. The lineup includes Jeff Tweedy, John Stirratt, Glenn Kotche, Pat Sansone, Nels Cline, and Mikael Jorgensen. Known for commanding performances, the group has been praised by NPR for offering one of the premier live experiences. Recent releases include the 2023 album Cousin and the 2024 EP Hot Sun Cool Shroud.

Music

Wilco

Wilco brings its dynamic show to a theater in Jackson, where every lyric and shift in volume can be heard and felt. The performance moves from pin-drop quiet to a room-shaking rush in a heartbeat, with songs that reward close listening. Expect a grin when Heavy Metal Drummer bursts forth, and count on the quieter moments to land with real force. It is built for listeners who notice the details tucked between the notes, inviting the audience to settle in as the music takes over.

Workshops & Classes

Lemonade Day Brandon 2026

Participants and families in Lemonade Day Brandon 2026 can get business-ready through a pair of identical workshops at Brandon High School. These interactive sessions guide young entrepreneurs through launching and running a lemonade stand, including how to figure out costs, set prices, and work toward profit, how to mix a great recipe, how to plan and build a stand, and how to apply practical financial and business skills. Each learner only needs to attend one session, since both cover the same material, and the focus is on turning a simple idea into a real small business.
