***

The Tennessee-based Rockers
Are Set To Open For Blues Traveler
In Charlotte, N.C., On October 21

Steve Palmer Band is celebrating their first Hollywood Music In Media Award (HMMA) nomination for Best Adult Contemporary/AAA Song for the title track to their upcoming rock, pop and soul-blended debut album, Apparition.

Set for November 18, 2010 at the world-famous Hollywood & Highland Kodak Theatre complex in Hollywood, Calif., the HMMAs recognize and honor the music of visual mediums, the talented individuals responsible for it, and the music of both mainstream and independent artists from around the world.

The Nashville-based rockers will continue their successful fall run with acclaimed group Blues Traveler, performing a free show on October 21 at Pavilion at EpiCentre in Charlotte, N.C. The band is currently touring in support of Apparition, which is slated for release on Palmer’s own label Arythmia Records in January 2011.

Drawing heavily from rock, soul and pop, Apparition is produced in a contemporary context and played with fiery soul-dipped passion. It’s a crafted work of songs such as “Living on the Streets” and “Livin’ a Lie,” along with hooky melodies atop dynamic rhythmic shifts and finessed with full harmonies.

Recorded live at Nashville’s Blackbird Studios and Sound Shop, Apparition is currently being mixed by Drop Trou Productions in Van Nuys, Calif., with Howard Rosen Productions.
