Case’s former bands continue to enjoy rediscovery by rock’s new generations, but it his solo career that his proven to be most enduring, earning him accolades and die-hard fans. His most recent release was last year’s “Wig!” Recorded after open-heart surgery in 2009, the collection of songs is full of electric blues and folk rock — a statement of joy and thanks for good friends and a good life.

For the past 10 years, Case has taught Songwriters Sliderule, a weekly series of workshops at McCabe’s Guitar Studio in Santa Monica, Calif., and at points around the world. In this special edition workshop, Case delves into songs of the Beatles, Bob Dylan and Robert Johnson to see what truths can be gleaned from these masters’ works. He has a way of conveying information about songwriting in a thoroughly encouraging, friendly and sometimes humorous environment, inspiring beginners and experts alike.
