Steve Poltz & Peter Case

By David Ensminger
Jun 23, 2011

Peter Case wanders the highways of this newfangled America like an authentic folk-rebel who has never lost his true grit. He was a teenage beatnik who showered Buffalo, N.Y., bars with blues at the end of the hippie era, then headed to San Francisco and jump-started punk rock with the...

Ani DiFranco's loner's resolve is beginning to pay off

By Joe Hon
Jun 6, 1996

Though she's often labeled a folkie malcontent because of her caustic lyrics and offbeat, aggressive performances, at this moment, the 25-year-old singer/songwriter is in a mood highly uncharacteristic of someone who's been fielding phone interviews for hours. While she admits...
Sounds for the Long Haul

Jun 1, 1995

Surviving in the music industry isn't easy. You can be on top one minute, on the bottom the next. It can be a world that lasts for as little as a day; as evidence, all you need to do is look at all the one-hit wonders that have littered the...
