Three-time Grammy nominee Peter Case, a rocker who helped usher in what we know today as Americana music, is bringing his incredible songwriting gifts to Stony Lake Brewing in Saline.

As a founding member of the early punk era trio The Nerves, in 1977 Case toured the nation sharing bills with the Ramones, Mink DeVille, Pere Ubu, and Devo. The Nerves single “Hanging on the Telephone,” was covered by Blondie.

In 1979, Case formed the Plimsouls, a record-breaking live act in California, recording albums for Planet/Elektra and Geffen. Their independent single, “A Million Miles Away,” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIxgBMNhsKU) entered the Billboard charts and remains a garage rock standard.

After the Plimsouls, Case rediscovered his musical roots on his self-titled solo debut, produced by T Bone Burnett. The New York Times declared Peter Case the best album of 1986. It earned a five-star Rolling Stone review and a Grammy nomination.

As one of the first songwriters of his generation to turn from rock music toward an acoustic sound, Case also helped usher in what became known as Americana music with songs like “Two Angels” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRXS6V_LPf4

He made his network television debut on Late Night with David Letterman in 1992 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jltLomuNmao

“I try to take things I love and use them in a new way,” Case says of his 16th solo album, “Doctor Moan,” an 11-song collection, largely performed on piano. Released by Sunset Blvd Records on March 31, Case’s piano-based songs are emotionally, sonically and stylistically rich. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUR3fgMSbCs
