I first saw Nico Case in a small bar in Fargo, ND. I had heard of the New Pornographers and thought I'd check it out. I was blown away by the show. Both her and her opening act, Jim and Jennie and the Pine-tops, were phenomenal and both grew into the sound track of that summer of my life. Fast forward 6 months and I had moved to Vermont and was working running lifts at Smugglers Notch. Talking music with a fellow liftey, J, J, and the PTs came up and he informed me that Jennie grew up or lived in Elmore VT and he had played with her as he was a banjo picker in a few local bluegrass bands, and it added up that more that one of their songs were obviously written about that part of VT. Fast forward 10 years and Nico case is now lives in VT. Who knew that that one show would hold so many connections to my future.
BTW Nico Case has a new album out and it rocks.
