PERFORMER SPOTLIGHT—PETER CASE

As a founding member of both the early punk era trio The Nerves and rock band The Plimsouls, Peter Case spent the early years of his career writing and performing timeless teenage rock ‘n’ roll that continues to appeal to fans of each new generation.

After The Plimsouls, Case rediscovered his musical roots on his self-titled solo debut, released in 1986 and produced by T Bone Burnett. As one of the first songwriters of his generation to turn from rock music toward an acoustic sound, Case helped usher in what became known as Americana music. 

“I try to take things I love and use them in a new way,” said Case of his 16th solo album “Doctor Moan.” Released by Sunset Blvd Records in 2023, Case’s piano-based songs are emotionally, sonically, and stylistically rich.

Triple Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Peter Case will join us on the Strawberry Main Stage on Sunday, May 24th. Listen & learn more here!
