VIA PRESS RELEASE | The revolutionary writer and performer Neko Case continues to have a busy 2026 following a standout 2025 with the release of her New York Times bestselling memoir The Harder The Fight, The More I Love You—which was named one of the best books of the year by Vulture, The Washington Post, The Globe, Apple, and NPR—and her 8th studio album Neon Grey Midnight Green, immediately deemed an essential work of her catalogue.
Case has announced an event that will combine both, an in-conversation Q&A with esteemed music journalist Ann Powers alongside an album and book signing at Grimey’s, Nashville’s favorite record store. Taking place on March 18 at 4 pm CT and co-presented by the Americana Music Association, those interested in attending can purchase Neko’s memoir or copies of her albums on vinyl or CD at grimeys.com or in person at Grimey’s to receive a signing wristband.
One month later on April 18 Case is offering an exclusive 7″ as a part of Record Store Day 2026 in tribute to her late friend and collaborator Dexter Romweber of Flat Duo Jets. It features a never-before-heard cover of Flat Duo Jets’ “Cool Boys” as well as “Winchester Mansion of Sound” from Neon Grey Midnight Green. Plagued with a sort of intuition about death, Case penned the latter about two years before Romweber’s 2024 passing, when she found herself worrying about him.
As Case wrote in her recent memoir The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You, the first time she heard Romweber’s pioneering psychobilly group, “something unlocked in her that day, the way making music could become a physical manifestation of the blazing wild horse energy inside of her body.” Case’s 2026 West Coast tour dates also kick off this week, beginning in Bozeman, MT, on February 25 with Destroyer (solo).
