" Case's feeling for the blues has never waned. That shouldn't come as a revelation to anyone whose been to one of Case's shows and heard him knock out out a near-forgotten number by Blind Willie McTell or Memphis Minnie just like he wrote the thing himself." -Tim Perlich, Now Magazine, Toronto, 2010

"What an incredible wealth of
wonderful songs Peter Case has given us" -Deb Miller, TWANGZINE

'This man is a national treasure.' -John Train, Philadelphia City Paper, Feb, 2005

"He has a storyteller's eye, a melodist's ear, a folk singer's soul and a rock 'n' roll
heart." -Will Kimbrough

'A staggering lineup of folk, blues, alt-county and rock stars pay homage to the vastly underrated Peter Case, who’s spent his career crossing genres with aplomb. This wide-ranging celebration is a reminder of Case’s songwriting genius and one of the most consistently strong tribute albums in recent memory.'
-Nate Dow, Boston Herald, (review of Case For Case tribute collection)

Peter Case is a
minstrel. The job hasn’t changed
in centuries. He sleeps in cheap
motels and blows his guts out
every night in basket houses and
coffee joints, night clubs, and the odd the-
ater. Same as me. He does it
with soul and spirit in a world
that has given up. He writes
hard edged, soulful stories and
sings the daily news. Let us
now praise honest troubadours.”
-Tom Russell

“What impresses me most
with Peter is his sense of
humor. He can make you
laugh with a word. It’s his
timing—it’s not thought
out...it’s heartfelt.“ -Marvin Etzioni

Every line Peter Case
writes feels as wild and
lethal and point-blank as
Russian roulette, but the
hammer never falls on an
empty chamber-Jeffrey Foucault

Peter Case is a
real songwriter.
A troubadour.”
-Bob Neuwirth

Peter Case is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and producer, a mighty fine guitarist and a well-reviewed published author and yet, he’s most at home on the stage. For 25 years, Peter, his guitar and his songs have mesmerized audiences from coast to coast, whether holding down a festival crowd, warming
up the place for luminaries like Jackson Browne and John Prine or headlining his own nightclub shows— of which he can claimed to have logged thousands.

As leader of the Plimsouls, and as a member of the groundbreaking punk era trio the Nerves and duo the Breakaways, Case earned his four stars and candy stripes a long time ago, while new generations continue to discover his unique amalgam of sound (2010 saw successful reisussues on all three bands). His songs have been featured on the hit TV series True Blood, Friday Night Lights and Parenthood.

Playing a blend of soulful blend of vintage rock ’n’ roll and soul, the blues, traditional and modern folk, a lot of music has flowed into his style. He remains an original folk-blues troubadour. He’s passionate about writing songs and connecting to real audiences, no matter the size. He regularly tours The United States of America, Canada, The United Kingdonm, and Europe, and his hardcore fans everywhere bring a deep connection to the songs and to the artist.

Wig! His latest recording for Yep Roc is his eleventh solo album.

Peter Case’s songs have been recorded by: James McMurtey, Dave Alvin, Chris Smither, Alejandro Escovedo, Robert Earle Keen, Hayes Carll, The Flaming Groovies, The Goo Goo Dolls, John Prine, Maura O'Connell and many others.

Peter Case has performed live on stage with: John Prine, Richard Thompson, Mavis Staples, Tom Petty, R.E.M., Merle Haggard, T Bone Burnett, Gordon Lightfoot, Sir George Martin, Steve Earle, Los Lobos, John Hiatt, Bobby Womack, Jackson Brown, Bonnie Raitt, Dave Alvin, John Doe, Phil Lynott, Stan Ridgway, Chris Smither, Alejandro Escovedo, and many others.

Here’s what critics and fellow performers are saying about Peter Case:

"Listening to Peter Case’s new album is a deliriously joyous experience." Ben Peterson, Popmatters, 2010

"Peter Case is one of the best songwriters of his generation. As a melodist, he is simply unsurpassable; the apparent ease with which he constructs a song is still boggling. A lot of music has flowed into his style: vintage rock ’n’ roll and soul, the blues, traditional and modern folk. He’s probably the only non-Irish songwriter who can introduce Celtic elements into his music without making me gag. (I vividly remember his early cover of “A Pair of Brown Eyes,” which introduced me, and many others in town, to the Pogues.) The marvel is that all these elements nestle so comfortably against each other. The seams never show in a Peter Case song. - Chris Morris, LA City Paper, 2005

"....consistent excellence." -Robert Palmer, The New York Times, 1986

“I really like Peter Case.
He is a great songwriter
and a magnetic performer
and he doesn't shy away
from writing songs about
space monkeys.” -John Prine
