case/lang/veirs is a Canadian-American supergroup consisting of Neko Case, k.d. lang, and Laura Veirs, formed in Portland, Oregon in 2013.[1] [2] [3] The group launched with a June 2016 eponymous album, followed by a 19-city summer 2016 tour.[4]
History
The trio of case/lang/veirs was formed in 2013, three years before the album release,[5] when Lang, in a one-line e-mail, invited Case and Veirs to join her, and they responded affirmatively within 30 minutes.[1] [4] [6]
The three musicians had decades of experience making music, [7] and at that point had recorded over 30 studio albums between them.[6]
Lang, who previously collaborated with Dwight Yoakam, Madeleine Peyroux and Ann Wilson,[8] has said that she was considering retirement before forming the band,[9] and she always wanted to "be part of a band, a real collaborative effort".[10]
The band's sound is described as alt-country.[2] [11]
Two of the band members, lang and Veirs, live in Portland; Case joined them from her home in Vermont.[1]
