Ann and Phil Case
Ann and Phil Case are but two of a growing
number of old-time performers from Ohio. They specialize in
classic and more obscure sacred and heart songs. Ann plays
guitar and mountain dulcimer, Phil mandolin, banjo and
guitar. They feature rare vintage Martin and Gibson
instruments and both are wonderfully sensitive singers. Ann
and Phil Case have been singing and playing music together
since 1990. They specialize in singing old-time Appalachian
duets, old-fashioned parlor songs and Depression-era tunes
as well as performing old-time instrumental duets. Ann sings
with a rare natural sweetness and plays back-up guitar and
mountain dulcimer. Phil has played a wide variety of musical
styles for over thirty years. He plays guitar, clawhammer
banjo and mandolin, and provides harmony vocals. Their sound
draws upon the influences of the Carter Family and their
contemporaries, early country blues, ragtime, and
traditional ballad singing. They have recently been awarded
a grant as master artists from the Ohio Arts Council to
teach Appalachian duet singing.
