Unbelievably sad news to report tonight as former Wilco multi-instrumentalist Jay Bennett has passed away. Jay was a very influential player in taking Wilco from their early days in the Alt-Country scene and helping transform them in to a highly respected and critically acclaimed American band. I was lucky enough to be at the First Avenue show featured in the “I Am Trying To Break Your Heart” documentary. He was a remarkable presence on stage and he will be missed. He was only 45 years old.
