Bluffton hosts Phil and Ann Case for the Town Hall Concert Series

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Toledo, Ohio, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) February 1, 2012 -- Ann and Phil Case have been singing and playing music together since 1990. They specialize in singing old-time Appalachian duets, old-fashioned parlor songs and Depression-era tunes as well as performing old-time instrumental duets. Ann sings with a rare natural sweetness and plays back-up guitar and fiddle. Phil plays guitar, clawhammer banjo, mandolin and harmonica, and provides harmony vocals. Their sound draws upon the influences of the Carter Family and their contemporaries, early country blues, ragtime, and traditional ballad singing.

They have recorded four CDs in just over 10 years: The Springtime of Life, Never Grow Old, Why Should We Be Lonely?, and The Old Step-Stone. These recordings have all received enthusiastic support from public radio programmers across the U.S. and overseas. The favorable reviews they have received in magazines such as Bluegrass Unlimited, Dirty Linen, Tradition, and Sing Out! have earned them a listing in the Music Hound Folk buyer's guide, as well as a feature article in the Summer 2004 issue of The Old-Time Herald. Together, Ann and Phil Case continue to bring reverence, freshness, and vitality to some fine old songs.

Sing Out! magazine, Spring 2000
"...Ann and Phil Case have earned a link on the
chain of groups keeping this tradition alive."

Tradition Magazine, March-April 2000...
“a ‘true’ rendition of what old-time music is all about.”

Dirty Linen, April/May 2000...
“their arrangements take account of the old masters without being imitative.”
