HIDDEN BEACH RECORDING ARTIST GLEN SCOTT MAKES IMPOSSIBLE PSA PLEA TO HELP HAITI

March 15, 2010 (New York, NY) -- Songwriter/singer Glen Scott, and newly signed Hidden Beach Recordings artist, has offered an impassioned plea and PSA that will hopefully continue to raise funds for the ongoing international relief efforts to help the Haitian people recapture their lives and rebuild their country. The PSA features lyrics from his song, “The Impossible.” The song will be included on his forthcoming debut CD, “Trust The Dawn,” that is scheduled for release in June 2010.

 

It’s been two months since one of the world’s most devastating earthquakes rocked Haiti forever changing the lives of millions of Haitians who witnessed a calamity of epic proportion destroy their country. While international support has contributed over $300 million dollars to helping Haiti, it’s going to take billions of dollars to rebuild the country and restore a sense of normalcy to the lives of its’ people.

 

Scott remarked, “I’m just one of many citizens of the world that is trying to lend a helping hand and offer a subtle reminder that the people of Haiti need our help indefinitely.” And he infused, “We need to send a message they have not been forsaken and not alone in their struggle.”

STEVE PALSTEVE PALMER BAND RELEASES A NEW TIMELESS CLASSIC, APPARITION, ON 4/20

(Nashville) The golden age of rock music in the 1970s meets the current zeitgeist and today’s D.I.Y. indie music spirit when the Steve Palmer Band releases its first album, Apparition, on April 20th on Palmer’s own Arythmia Records. The newest addition to Nashville’s burgeoning rock scene, SPB carries the proud tradition of such heartland rock trailblazers as Creedence Clearwater Revival, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and others into the new millennium. Music lovers will be able to enjoy a first taste of SPB’s live magic and potency when they open a series of theater and club dates for Bob Schneider in late March and early April.


Singer, songwriter and rhythm guitarist Steve Palmer creates music sure to delight aficionados of intelligent, big-hearted, hook-filled American music. He is backed by a crew of seasoned players with a collective century of studio and concert experience: background vocalist Vicki Hampton, bassist Anthony Setola, lead guitarist Bryan Ewald, drummer Tony Morro and Hammond B-3 organist/pianist Larry Hall. Apparition was recorded live off the floor with minimal overdubs at Nashville’s Blackbird Studios, the ground zero recording facility for the city’s rock community thanks to fellow habitués like Kings of Leon and Jack White. It was co-produced by SPB and producer, songwriter and drummer David Huff (a former member of the group Giant) and mixed by recording veteran Jim Ebert (Butch Walker, Jason Falkner, Cowboy Mouth, SR 71).


The Denver-born Palmer has nurtured his dream of recording and performing a new yet lasting rock sound since he first started playing guitar and writing songs while growing up in Connecticut. Following one of his first recording sessions at age 17 in Plymouth, England, he has honed a sound that transcends genres and organically takes his influences to next stage. “I draw from the music I know and love,” he explains. “I grew up with bands like Kansas and such rockers as Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel, and also all the solo artists who were writers: Joni Mitchell, Dan Fogelberg, Bob Dylan, James Taylor and Cat Stevens.” With SPB, he matches such inspirations with the punch of modern-day heavyweights like Pearl Jam and 3 Doors Down as well as the fluid improvisational virtuosity of the Dave Matthews Band.


Palmer wrote a now 200-song strong catalog and perfected his creative vision recording in top studios in the Chicago area, Indiana, Connecticut (with first-call New York City session players) and in and around the Washington, D.C. capital region. “Music was always in the forefront of my brain and what drove me through life,” he says. “I had to keep recording and writing because it was something I love.” He wrapped up a professional career in 2002 to pursue music 24/7, and ultimately found in Nashville the players to unite behind a common purpose and a place to make the recordings he envisioned.


Since moving to Music City last summer, Palmer has forged an inspiring creative union with SPB’s members that not only yielded Apparition but also a country-rock leaning second album, Stuck in a U-Haul. The group also recently filmed a full concert at Soundcheck Nashville as well as a live music video at Blackbird for their debut CD’s title track.


A four-song teaser EP will be serviced to radio and available on the Steve Palmer Band’s tour dates prior to the full album’s April 20 street date. With SPB now in it together for the long haul, the band has leased headquarters space in Nashville’s Marathon Village, where they’ve set up a rehearsal studio that will double as a tracking facility. The release of Apparition will be followed by intensive cross-country touring throughout 2010.


"Getting this CD out to the public is my lifelong dream,” Palmer says. “I am very happy with it and thrilled to try to get our sound out there and finally play in front of people."
