Tim Case is a folk-inspired, country-adjacent singer/songwriter from Wisconsin. His latest album is 2025’s “Hall of Mirrors,” recorded at Pine Hollow in Eau Claire with producer Evan Middlesworth. Kinda folk, sorta rock, almost country, the album was praised by the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram as, “A modern, uniquely-Wisconsin take on classic folk and Americana music.” Primarily relying on finger-picked acoustic guitar and raw, heartfelt vocals, on stage he has earned a reputation as a charming storyteller and compelling live performer.

JT Spartz is the driving force behind Madison-based Roots Rock / Americana band Dogtown Hollow.
