Casey Walker formed Case Oats in 2018 after moving to Chicago and quickly became a fixture in the city’s indie-folk scene. In 2025, she signed with Merge Records and released her acclaimed debut, praised by the Chicago Sun-Times as a “standout debut” and by Rolling Stone for its warm, alt-country songwriting.
Intimate and novelistic, Walker’s songs bring city life back down to the porch swing — grounded, heartfelt, and quietly powerful.
