Singer/Songwriter Neko Case will bring her powerhouse vocals to the Musikfest Café presented by Yuengling Wednesday, Jan. 25. Neko’s music spans a broad spectrum, from longing to malice. Her lyrics evoke worlds, imagining a woman pilot ready to die, a serial killer, a murdered child and a tornado, just for starters.

In addition to her own successful solo projects, Case is a member of the Canadian indie rock group The New Pornographers.
