As you know, Neko Case is the raddest and whenever she wants to do stuff with Poketo, we are head over heels thrilled. These two shirts are currently on tour with her this Summer. These are tour shirt only finds! She’s finishing up her July tour at the Pitchfork Festival on July 15th… if you are in Chicago, chances are there are still tickets left as it’s a huge 3 day festival. Come August, those in the South and East Coast are lucky with a string of tour dates from Nashville to Athens to Providence to Woodstock and more. Plus, Neko’s playing with My Morning Jacket! What a dream. When September hits, she plays at the famed Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles along with The National. We got our tickets already! Oh ya, and how rad are these shirts?!

An incredible collaboration and fundraiser comes to life. Grammy nominated singer/songwriter, Neko Case is auctioning off her killer 1967 Mercury Cougar for one of our favorite non-profit organizations, 826 National. 826 National is a non-profit dedicated to helping students, ages 6-18, with creative writing and helping teachers getting their kids get excited about writing!

We are super excited that Neko asked us to be part of this fundraiser. As if her car was not enough to get people excited, she wanted to invite her favorite peeps to fill it with goodies. We are honored to be part of this. All proceeds of the sale/auction of the car will go directly to fund 826 Nationals programs and chapters across the country. Bidding for Neko’s amazing car will begin in the coming months so stay tuned.

In the meantime, you can support 826 now by purchasing the Poketo Mercury Cougar-Rama Muscle Car-’splosion tee shirt designed by Neko Case for this special fundraiser! Yes, Neko Case hand drew these two designs for 826 and Poketo! Singer, songwriter, and artist–Wow.
