Band Quotes "Palmer Divide is one of the most dynamic bluegrass bands in the Rocky Mountain area and why the band has the potential to reach out to a much wider audience. Don't be surprised when these fellows break into a national market in the very near future."
Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine ~ June 2007 Issue DVD/CD Review
"If you're looking for a great band that plays first class original material, with excellent musicianship all around, look no further! This band is smooth, hot, and tasteful!. you'll love this band!"

"Palmer Divide is composed of four of the West's finest musicians. They have their own sound which is based on lots of original material complimented by excellent vocals and strong instrumentation. Individually they are a pleasure to work with and can always be counted on to provide an entertaining and professional stage show. I would highly recommend Palmer Divide for any musical event!"
Ken Seaman ~ Promoter and Host of the Mid-Winter Bluegrass Festival, The Greeley Bluegrass Roundup, Founding Member of The Bluegrass Patriots
"Here's a band that does it all -- great ORIGINAL songs, soulful singing, tight harmonies, and jaw-dropping musicianship. These guys are quite possibly Colorado's best musicians. They have a modern style, yet remain respectful of the soul, drive, and tradition of bluegrass. If you don't have their CDS, get em! If you haven't seen them, check them out! Tell them I sent you!"
Kip Martin ~ Former bassist, Jimmy Martin, Mike Auldridge, Chris Jones, etc. Founder of the DC Bluegrass Union, Moderator of The Bluegrass Bass List (BGBASS-L)
"My husband and I drove to Prescott from Mesa AZ on Saturday to check out the festival. I was very impressed with your playing and sets. I thought your group was the best that we saw. I just wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed the clean playing and great harmonies and songs that you did. Again, just wanted to say great job and real enjoyment was felt. Thanks for the show...."
Kathy Murbach ~ Former President of the Inland Northwest Bluegrass Association, Spokane, Washington
IBMA a tremendous success!
We're just back from Nashville and had a fantastic time while we were there. Met a lot of great people and made many contacts while we were there.
The biggest news is that we ran into Kyle Cantrell of XM Radio's Bluegrass Junction and he requested we fly back to Nashville and do a live in-studio interview and performance as soon as they can work it into their schedule. So we will be headed back to music city as soon as we get a date from the good folks at XM.
We'd also like to thank all of the Associations that invited us to perform in their after hours showcases, we enjoyed playing every one of them and meeting all of the fine folks that represented their associations.
We also thoroughly enjoyed meeting Bob Mitchell from WFPK-FM 91.9 in Louisville KY. Bob sought us out after one of our suite showcases and for that we are truly thankful. He also would like us to do an in studio interview at WFPK as well, so we'll definitely tie that in with our next Nashville trip.
We also played for a BBQ event at Lock Five Farms in Lebanon, TN while we were in town and had special guest Sarah Johns join us for a couple of tunes. That was a blast.
Thanks to all the gang at Lock Five Farm for the fantastic hospitality, ribs that were out of this world, and great memories. We're looking forward to doing it again.
