Peter Case and Sid Griffin solo acoustic tour.
Old friends, Peter Case and Sid Griffin will be touring together for the first time together across Spain, Italy and Austria this October and Nov, after a highly successful sold out tour in Northern Europe and the UK in 2024. Each will be performing their own songs and then ending on a couple of duets.
Peter Case is a three time Grammy nominated solo artist based in California. He is a founding member of the ground-breaking indie trio, The Nerves whom wrote and released the original version of ‘Hanging On the Telephone’ back in 1976 (which Blondie covered for a worldwide hit), and former leader of L.A.’s mighty powerhouse power pop band, The Plimsouls. Case started his solo career in 1986 and has since crisscrossed the world, first releasing three solo albums on Geffen, four on Vanguard and another ten with leading US indie labels.
2023 saw the release of his latest album, ‘Doctor Moan’ as well as the feature film documentary ‘A Million Miles Away’ following Peter’s musical journey. He has since recorded a new live album which will be out in the new year. Peter will be returning to the guitar for his new European tour dates performing songs from across his vast catalogue.
American Songwriter called him, “a brilliant wordsmith, gifted at spinning authentic stories in song” as well as “a serious and sophisticated melodicist.” His fans including T-Bone Burnett, Van Dyke Parks, Chuck Prophet and Elvis Costello.
Sid Griffin is a leading light of the Americana music scene. The Kentucky native was a founder of The Long Ryders, a band which performed Americana and alt-country long before they were established musical genres. They have reunited several times for sold out tours across Europe.
Griffin also plays mandolin and clawhammer banjo, having led The Coal Porters bluegrass band through seventeen long years, six well-regarded albums, numerous North American and European tours, and many headaches. He has written chart singles both in the USA and in Europe but has never, alas, written a smash hit.
Sid Griffin is also a record producer, a freelance writer, the author of four books, and wrote the 2005 BBC TV documentary Gram Parsons: Fallen Angel and for BBC Radio 2 he wrote specials on the Carter Family and Buddy Holly. His most recent book, Million Dollar Bash: Bob Dylan, The Band, & the Basement Tapes will soon enter its third printing and he has annotated over forty reissues for other artists.
In Italy Griffin won the Piero Ciampi Award for his lifetime of artistic work and in the UK in 2021 he was a recipient of the Americana Music Association’s International Trailblazer Award.
‘The Journey From Grape To Raisin’ is his latest solo album. A digital EP of live songs from this album was released in July, 2025. Griffin frequently tours as a solo singer-songwriter with fellow troubadour Peter Case, an old friend.
