Watermill Sessions are thrilled to announce Alt Country Roots artists ELAINE PALMER and MEMPHIS GERALD at The Cumberland Arms in Newcastle 13th Nov 7pm
ELAINE PALMER hails from an isolated village up on the North Yorkshire Moors but spent most of her life travelling back and forward to her family in the deserts of Arizona. Elaine’s renowned for her distinctive voice, country tinged emotive songs and mesmerizing stage presence with comparisons to the likes of Emmylou and Stevie Nicks. Her latest album Half Moon Rising, recorded in San Diego with producer Mike Butler whose credits include Norah Jones, Phoebe Bridgers and Ray LaMontagne acclaimed as her finest work yet.
‘Palmer’s powerful expressive voice stands comparison with Emmylou’ RnR Magazine ****
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.’ *****
ROCKING MAGPIE – ‘Twangtastic guitar and rhythm section bring out the pathos of Elaine’s voice. The result is really and truly OUTSTANDING. The finest thing Ms Palmer has ever recorded’ *****
Memphis Gerald
Anywhere there’s an ache is comfortable territory for Memphis Gerald’s deft flatpicking and wry burr.
Born and raised in Scotland, adrift in genre and sensibility, Memphis weaves traditional Celtic guitar styles into love of country, roots and even punk.
As the listener immerses themselves in Memphis’s wandering ballads, they discover a tender insight as his songs delicately pluck at the essence of venturing from familiar roads, love, loss and finding solace.
