Alt Country Singer Songwriter Elaine Palmer with Gem Andrews.NE Volume ‘Her music has textures of New Country while being authentic, dark and edgy. I believe that if there is some possible way that Karen Anne Carpenter, Stevie Nicks and Jonny Cash had a child together, that child would be Elaine.’ *****

Elaine finely honed her distinctive voice and built a reputation for her emotive mesmerizing stage presence as her fusion of British Fok and American Country styles. Elaine has released a handful of records and toured the UK extensively, playing with the likes of Patty Griffin, Lilly Hiatt, Sea Sick Steve and Paolo Nutini.
