The Winery at Eagle Knoll is becoming an alt-country mecca this summer.

In addition to Steve Earle playing out there July 11 (ticket details will be in Scene this Friday), singer-songwriter Neko Case has been booked Aug. 28 Aug. 29. (Update: Promoter Idaho Concerts inadvertently provided the wrong date.)

Yes, Neko! It's easy to appreciate Case’s work in her alt-rock band, The New Pornographers, but many fans find her country-laced solo albums infinitely more compelling. (The fact she recently lent her voice to my favorite Cartoon Network series, “Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” makes her untouchable in my book.) And in case you're wondering, yes, Case will bring her backing band to the winery, which is located at 3705 N. Idaho 16.

Tickets will be $26 advance, $29 day of show, at the Record Exchange, Boise Co-op or 345-0454. Tickets will go on sale May 23.

Here’s Case with “Maybe Sparrow," a gorgeous song from her most recent studio album, 2007’s “Fox Confessor Brings the Flood”:
