Casey Neill and the Norway Rats

Join us at the beautiful Historic Eagle House for one of Humboldt's favorites! The music of Casey Neill & The Norway Rats combines high energy indie rock rave-ups and haunting lush acoustic reveries built around melodic narrative songwriting. The Norway Rats feature Chet Lyster (Eels) on guitars, Jesse Emerson on bass, John Askew on keys and guitars, and Stuart Murray on drums. Neill has been touring extensively through the USA, Japan, and Europe for more than a decade, performing his songs at venues such as Town Hall in New York, San Francisco's Great American Music Hall, and the Newport Folk Festival. He is often a member of the Northwest power pop collective The Minus 5 (with members of R.E.M.) as well as Japanese/American cross cultural band Big Bridges.
