The Jon Palmer Acoustic Band are an established and well-respected outfit who have created an enviable live reputation in the north of the country, which is hard to beat.A six-piece band (Jon Palmer - guitar, vocals; Adam Hopkins - cajon, vocals; Wendy Ross - violin, vocals; Eddy Green - bass, vocals; Iain Cunningham - keyboards, vocals; Lee Wellbrook - mandolin, vocals), they perform with a passion and enthusiasm that matches the content of Jon’s songs.
Mixing the traditional with the contemporary, and never afraid to comment on current topics, Jon Palmer writes songs with soaring, memorable choruses that you will have trouble getting out of your head.
The band’s last album, Vacca Wall, garnered great reviews, and the next album issues for release later in 2025.
