Saturday I played the opening set for Peter Case at the wonderful Folk Music Center in Claremont. I love the vibe of this place. The walls are filled with instruments from all over the world. The sound system is great and when you play, the whole place resonates. Jerry and Ellen are kind, gentle hosts and you can tell they put on the shows for the love of music. The crowd seemed to really enjoy my set and it was fun to talk with them after the show. Peter played an energetic set, switching to electric guitar for some greasy tunes and rootsy rock. I had seen him a few times before at McCabe’s, but I was impressed again. He is such a good songwriter and performer. Check him out at: http://www.petercase.com/
