Indie Singer-Songwriter

Main Stage, June 23rd

Fearless and inventive songwriter Neko Case bends decades of pop music into new shapes, wielding her voice like a kiss and her metaphors like a baseball bat. Since escaping the labels of country and Americana, the gorgeous train-whistle vocals of her early career sit submerged in her later style, where their ghost can appear any minute. With a career spanning over twenty years and many critically acclaimed solo albums and collaborations, she does it all on her own terms. The legacy she’s building is one that can stand up to music made by any other solo artist in her lifetime. Don’t look away; you never know what might happen. “I’m just trying,” she says, “to be myself as hard as I can.”
