- <p>The music of Casey Neill s Mountain Stage, and the Newport Folk Festival. The band is a murderers row of Northwest music vets from acts such as The Decemberists, Viva Voce, and Eels. The new Casey Neill a milestone in Neill and companys trajectory thus far while Rolling Stone says (Neills) songs mask their complexities beneath a simple, singalong-worthy surface... these swimming waters have serious depth.A work of dystopian romance, Subterrene taps into new creative wells where electronic elements weave in and out underneath cutting guitars. While not a traditional concept album, Subterrene follows a distinct story arc. The ominous-yet-defiantly-optimistic portraits it paints were inspired in equal parts by vintage sci-fi novels, our current political climate, and the globetrotting manner in which Neills lived for the past few years. Casey is a frequent member of power pop band The Minus 5 along with Scott McCaughey and Peter Buck of R.E.M. (who both guest on Subterrene).These are songs with stories well told. This is what its all about - STEVE EARLESoul-searing songs - UTNE READERCasey Neills career launched in 1997, after inking a three record deal with acoustic label Appleseed and contributing tracks to their Pete Seeger Tribute collection along with Bruce Springsteen, Billy Bragg, and Bonnie Raitt. A compilation of his material entitled Memory Against Forgetting was released by Indigo Girl Amy Rays Daemon imprint in 2005. Following a few years treading the boards in NewYork City, Casey moved back to Portland and its thriving music community. In 2007, a far more electric Casey Neill record Brooklyn Bridge was released and The Norway Rats were formed. Goodbye to the Rank and File followed in 2010 and All You Pretty Vandals in 2014. A collaborative songwriting project with Japanese guitar legend Takashi Ohashi titled Big Bridges led to three sold out tours of Japan. At Newport Folk Festival, Casey was part of the all star Speak Out set with Lucius, Margo Price, Nate Rateliff and Jim James that was released on LP as part of Record Store Day 2018.Critic Marco Rivera described it best for music blog Splendid: Be it through raucous rockers, fragile acoustic ballads, passionate bursts of punk fury or soulful touches of Irish folk, Neills narrative talent and concern for real peoples struggles stand out. (Neill) evokes an epic feel that fits perfectly with the implicit grandiosity of this emotional material, delivered with a raspy, affectionate voice that recalls Lifes Rich Pageant-era Michael Stipe. The results are so evocative, youll be tempted to steep further in these memories, the better to share Casey Neills particular blend of personal and historical experience.</p><p>This event is 21 and over.
