A supergroup comprised of renowned singer-songwriters Neko Case, K.D. Lang and Laura Veirs will perform at the Joy Theater in New Orleans on July 31.

The all-female trio will take the stage under the moniker case/lang/veirs, which will also be the name of their upcoming 14-track collaborative album. The record–slated for release on June 16–will find the artists sharing lead vocal duties equally, often on the same track.

Evidently, the project came to fruition a few years ago, when lang sent an email to Case and Veirs that read, “I think we should make a record together.” Despite being little more than acquanitances, the three musicians admired each other’s work and quickly agreed to the propsoal.

“She lit the flare,” says Case. “She shot it into the air and we said, ‘Let’s do this.’ Laura and I both responded immediately. There was no question.”

After two-and-a half years working togehter, the group is finally ready to release its self-titled debut. The album was produced with Tucker Martine at his Portland studio in November 2015.

“I just wanted to do something different, something fun,” says lang. “We grappled with how to proceed in the beginning, because we thought scheduling with Neko, who lives in Vermont and is always on the road, would make it hard to get enough good songs written. We thought, should we do a cover record? But we all felt the strongest thing to do would be to try to write, so we persevered. Laura is such a prolific writer, so she really drove the songwriting, and it came together.”

At first we thought what can we possibly write about, we don’t even know each other,” says Veirs. “There were no themes. So k.d. and I were having trouble writing and went on a walk. We saw this firework stand and we started looking at the names of the different fireworks, and one of them was called ‘Delirium.’ We were like, ‘that’s a good song title,’ and we started building.”

Tickets for the show will go on sale this Friday, April 9 at 10am.
