Neko Case has got her work cut out for her in the first half of 2007, with tours taking her across Australia and North America. Tonight in Adelaide, she kicks off a series of Down Under dates. Upon her return to North America in early February, Case will support country legend Merle Haggard on the West Coast.

She'll cruise the continent for the rest of the month, rounding it out with two performances as part of Lincoln Center's American Songbook series.

Case starts back up again in late March, playing scattered shows before a stop at the Stagecoach festival, the country music gathering put together by Goldenvoice, the people behind Coachella.

Speaking of Coachella, as previously reported, the New Pornographers are scheduled to appear at that festival on April 28.
