Casey Neill & The Norway Rats   "These are songs with stories well told. This is what it's all about" STEVE EARLE     “a masterful songwriter” - PUNK PLANET    From Portland, Oregon, Casey Neill performs haunting reveries and high energy rave-ups built around narrative songwriting. Neill tours with the band and solo throughout the USA, Japan, and Europe at venues such as Town Hall in New York, NPR’s Mountain Stage, and the Newport Folk Festival. The new Casey Neill & The Norway Rats album Subterrene is a major leap forward that No Depression calls "a milestone in Neill and company’s trajectory thus far" while Rolling Stone says "(Neill's) songs mask their complexities beneath a simple, singalong-worthy surface... these swimming waters have serious depth."   Joining on this tour is a Northeast incarnation of the Norway Rats including guitarist Jason Victor (Dream Syndicate, Skull Practitioners), keyboardist Josh Kantor (Split Squad, Boston Red Sox), and drummer Rachel Blumberg (ex-Decemberists, M Ward).
