LIVE MUSIC: Tim Case & JT Spartz

Tim Case is a folk-inspired, country-adjacent singer/songwriter from Wisconsin. His latest album is 2025’s “Hall of Mirrors,” recorded at Pine Hollow in Eau Claire with producer Evan Middlesworth. Kinda folk, sorta rock, almost country, the album was praised by the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram as, “A modern, uniquely-Wisconsin take on classic folk and Americana music.” Primarily relying on finger-picked acoustic guitar and raw, heartfelt vocals, on stage he has earned a reputation as a charming storyteller and compelling live performer.

JT Spartz is the driving force behind Madison-based Roots Rock / Americana band Dogtown Hollow. With a warm voice and grounded approach to song craft, Spartz draws on equal measures of rootedness, connection, movement, and isolation. Dogtown Hollow was a 2024 Americana Artist of the Year nominee by the Midwest Country Music Organization based largely on the songwriting and musicianship of its 2024 EP “Rivers, Roads & Bridges.” A follow-up EP, “Watch Your Step!” was released in July 2025.
