SHK Music Presents: Peter Case, Michael Tarbox at Boston Harbor Distillery
Peter Case - I try to take things I love and use them in a new way, said triple Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Peter Case of his 16th solo album Doctor Moan. Case brings his considerable songwriting ability to an 11-song collection, primarily performed on piano, including his first solo recorded instrumental. Released by Sunset Blvd Records on March 31, Case’s piano-based songs are emotionally, sonically, and stylistically rich.
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, entered the Billboard charts and remains a garage rock standard, performed by bands worldwide. The band performed in the cult classic film Valley Girl and the Nerves and Plimsouls timeless teenage rock n roll continues to appeal to fans of each new generation.
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.

Michael Tarbox writes songs anchored in rock ‘n roll, blues, and country. They’re gritty, immediate, and lived-in, and Tarbox delivers them in an unmistakable smokey voice that The Chicago Reader calls “ageless.” His gospel-tinged guitar playing, tough as Texas barbed wire, brings it all together.
All Things Considered says Tarbox makes “homemade rock ‘n’ roll with a dose of rattlesnake venom and gospel-drenched howling.” That’s true sometimes, but it’s only part of the story. His recordings range from string band-meets-delta music to brooding noir Americana to spare, reflective acoustic songs. All share the sense of wild exploration that continues to make Tarbox an artist to watch.
Tarbox began his career with his band, The Tarbox Ramblers. The group released two records on Rounder to wide critical acclaim. The Ramblers also backed Robert Plant and Alison Krauss in their first live performance together and contributed songs to the hit TV show Sons of Anarchy.
