Peter Case’s influences are as wide-ranging as the concerts he performs.
The nationally-known singer, songwriter and teacher will kick off the fall 2014 season of the Acoustic Brew Concert Series at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 4, at the Center for Well-Being in Lemont.
Case has been touring and performing guitar workshops for nearly 30 years. His albums range from folk to rock to New Wave and everything in between.
“I’m trying to forge my own style out of inherited materials,” Case says. “I’ve always been into dynamic emotionally charged music you could use to tell a story or paint a picture.”
Case’s career began in San Francisco with bands The Nerves and The Plimsouls and eventually evolved into solo work when those groups disbanded. His records have been produced by T-Bone Burnett and collaborators include John Hiatt and Van Dyke Parks.
Tickets for Case’s performance are $16 and can be purchased online at www.acousticbrew.org, at Webster’s Bookstore Cafe or Nature’s Pantry in State College, or at the door. Penn State students will receive a $2 discount (or refund if purchased online) at the door with a student ID.
