FIRESIDE TUNES with Tim Case

Tim Case is a folk-inspired, country-adjacent singer/songwriter from Wisconsin. Born and raised in Beloit to a public school teacher mother and factory foreman by day/Pentecostal minister by night father, his original songs – whether tender personal narrative, classic story-song, or good old fashioned barroom lament – are rooted in a perspective that is uniquely his own. As a songwriter he takes inspiration from the subtle complexities of everyday life, with artful lyrics that probe heavy topics – family, fatherhood, love, and loss – with a light, often humorous touch.

His musical development began with a move to Madison after college, where he was a co-founding guitarist of alt-country outfit Ghost Town Council, sharing stages with some of the region’s finest Americana acts during his time with the band. Love and graduate school eventually brought him to the Chippewa Valley, where after a decade away from music he released the “Great Big Moon” EP, a five-song collection praised by Aldora Britain Records as, “A prime example of colorful and extraordinary Americana music in the modern world.”

Since the release of the EP he has been honored to share the stage with Erik Koskinen, Martha Scanlan & Jon Neufeld, The Lone Canary, Michael Gay, Andie Wyne, and many other artists from around the upper Midwest and beyond. Featuring finger-picked acoustic guitar, heartfelt vocals, and a down-to-earth stage presence, he has earned a reputation as a charming and compelling live performer. He lives in Eau Claire with his wife and daughter.
