They have appeared in both Bluegrass Unlimited and Bluegrass Now magazines, and have several singles worked into airplay rotation on XM's Bluegrass Junction with "Red Dirt on My Shoes" peaking at #3. They were also featured as a "Studio Special" guest on Sirius/XM's Bluegrass Junction with Kyle Cantrell. 

Palmer Divide formed as a band with the single goal of not being just another bluegrass cover band. The band was created by merging members from several other successful Colorado bands. With their own approach to acoustic music Palmer Divide offers up their brand of music with well crafted lyrics, innovative and rock solid instrumentation, and tight 3 and 4 part harmonies. Their unique yet hauntingly familiar sound pulls from their deep respect of traditional bluegrass music and well as their desire to create a modern acoustic sound that is all their own. After performing in various other cover bands all over the country for the last 25+ years they were excited to perform music that could only be labeled as "theirs." When the original four members first got together they decided to perform only music that they had written; "a bold undertaking for a new bluegrass band trying to garner festival and concert work" noted Dick Pierle, founder and owner of Old Blue Sound. The four original members were extremely confident in the music they had written and arranged and felt if given the chance to perform it in front of an audience others would like it as well.
