An Evening With Peter Case

As a member of the Nerves, Peter Case released one of the first seven-inch singles in the punk and new wave era and toured across the country as an opening act for the Ramones. Following that band’s end, Peter launched the Plimsouls and scored a hit in the ’80s with A Million Miles Away. However, it’s Case’s work as a solo artist that has solidified his spot as one of the most influential American singer/songwriters. Throughout his varied career, Case’s secret weapon has always been his powerhouse voice and imaginative songwriting. With his latest release, Wig!, Case recommits himself—to life, and his personal brand of “Rock’n’Soul” that’s made him a favorite among music aficionados, critics and his fellow songwriters for at least 25 years. Please join us in the Clive Davis Theater to hear Case, along with Vice President of the GRAMMY Foundation and MusiCares Scott Goldman, discuss his expansive career. After the discussion, Case will take questions from the audience and perform a selection of songs.
