Case, whose name was Greg Allen firmly sealed into music history as founding member of the legendary and short-lived band The Nerves and later as frontman of the Plimsouls, is a veteran artist whose musical career has evolved nearly five decades from power pop to roots blues. He began playing coffee houses in New York at age 14 before becoming a ‘70s street musician in San Francisco where he formed The Nerves, which later broke into L.A.’s early punk scene promoting and playing some of the earliest shows in the city. The band wrote “Hanging on the Telephone,” which Blondie later covered. Case went on to form the alternative rock band, the Plimsouls, who achieved national popularity in 1983 when their single, “A Million Miles Away” was featured in the film “Valley Girl.” Case launched his solo career in 1986 and has since been nominated for three Grammys. His music combines blues, rock, country, soul and R&B. Hwy 62 is his first studio album since Wig in 2010. The new album is largely acoustic and includes guest musicians Ben Harper and DJ Bonebrake of X. Case will perform at 8 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17, at Red Rock Coffee, 201 Castro St., Mountain View.

Two luxury downtown hotels have lost their executive chefs.
