Peter Case and Sid Griffin
No sooner will Sid have unpacked his suitcase after the April Long Ryders European dates then Our Hero puts out the clean socks and ironed shirts for a May tour of the UK with his longtime L.A. buddy Peter Case.
The dynamic duo will perform nine shows on these shores wherein Sid goes on first and Grammy Award nominee Peter Case headlines. Sid has famously said,
Peter Case is one of my five favourite musicians of all-time. Of all-time. He is absolutely astounding as a writer and as a singer.
Many will remember Peter Case from The Nerves’ groundbreaking work or from his leadership of The Plimsouls (“the best live act I ever saw, bar none” – Sid Griffin) and as a singer-songwriter Peter Case is pretty much the USA equivalent to Martin Carthy these days. His work with T-Bone Burnett, Roger McGuinn, Van Dyke Parks, members of Los Lobos, Victoria Williams, and…simply too many big names to remember…has put Peter on a pedestal he deserves.
By the way, one of Sid Griffin’s favourite songs ever but ever is this one by Peter.
These two old L.A. alt-country hepcats are performing nine May concerts in the UK. As we go to press the tour is not quite completely booked so please contact Bob Paterson at BPA via bp@bpa-live.com if you have a venue for our awesome twosome.
