Thurs, Dec 2, Peter Case
The Palms Playhouse, 8 p.m., $20
For a high-school dropout, Peter Case has done pretty well for himself. From fronting one of the most well-respected pop groups during the ’80s, the Plimsouls, in addition to playing in the lesser known Nerves, to touring regularly with his own solo material, let’s just say the job market hasn’t affected his recorded output or touring cycle. He’s playing this Thursday in Winters. However, those in-the-know folks don’t mind venturing into the sleepy town to see acts play at the former opera house when the caliber is this high. Check his latest, Wig!, released earlier this year on Yep Roc Records. That should be enough impetus. 13 Main Street in Winters, www.petercase.com.
