Stereo Embers The Podcast: Holly Palmer

“A Family Album”

The California-born and Washington-raised Holly Palmer has had quite a career. Signed to Reprise in the mid-nineties, Palmer garnered well-deserved critical-acclaim and toured with the likes of Paula Cole, k.d. Lang and Shawn Colvin. David Bowie asked her to sing background vocals on his Hours album and then he asked her to join his 1999 world tour as a singer/percussionist. Some career highlights: she joined Gnarls Barkley on their World Tour, recorded a duet with Michael Buble’, sang background and played acoustic guitar on Idina Menzel’s I Stand Tour, wrote the theme to the television show Mob City, and formed the musical duo Bubbles and Cheesecake with Ailee Willis who wrote September and Boogie Wonderland with Earth, Wind & Fire. She’s worked with Jellyfish’s Roger Manning Jr, Dr. Dre, Don Was and Dave Navarro–how’s that for range? She can do anything. Holly Palmer has put out five perfect solo albums including her 1996 self-titled debut, 2007’s Songs For Tuesday and 2017’s A Family Album. A graduate of the Berkelee College Of Music Palmer has since gone on to explore the nuances of voice and music composition. Her phrasing, her timing and her beautiful timbre make her one of the greats. She’s a mom, a wife, an artist and a student all at once and she just keeps crushing it.
