Andy Palmer
Denver resident and erstwhile public defender in Brooklyn, N.Y., songwriter Andy Palmer performs solo and leads the band, Grub Street Writer. Three years of living and working in the trenches of Brooklyn’s underbelly provide fodder for his raw lyrical and musical style, which might be qualified as folk rock with an alternative edge. His vocal quality has been compared to Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits and others, but has always been very much his own making, emerging from long periods of solitude and silence.
Palmer’s debut CD, Sometime Around, was released September, 23, 2011 and is receiving excellent reviews. His music has been featured in the 2010 and 2011 Reel Rock films, on multiple public radio stations, and on the Colorado Wave podcast.
Palmer was adopted at a young age and raised in the rural northeast on a small family farm. He has spent six winter months in near solitude in a yurt in Maine. He’s lived on and volunteered at a Buddhist meditation retreat for many more months of silent meditation. He is a professionally trained massage therapist, river raft guide, and a licensed attorney. His songs capture and share these experiences through a blend of storytelling and poetry.
