STEVE PALMER BAND ROCKED
THE STAGE AT THE 2010
HOLLYWOOD MUSIC IN MEDIA AWARDS
TO A STAR-STUDDED CROWD
WITH THEIR SOUL-INFUSED
SINGLE ‘APPARITION’

Steve Palmer Band (SPB) celebrated their first Hollywood Music In Media Award (HMMA) nomination with a stellar performance of their lead-off track “Apparition” at the red carpet gala in Hollywood, Calif. The room was filled with music supervisors, industry luminaries and celebrities such as Jane Fonda, legendary producer Richard Perry, rock star Gilby Clarke (Guns & Roses, “Rockstar: Supernova”), and actress Natasha Henstridge (“Species,” “The Nine Yards”), among others.

In its third year, the HMMAs were held November 18 at The Highlands and presented honors to mainstream and independent artists and music in various forms of media including film, television, video games, commercial ads, and movie trailers. The next day, Bolger and Ewald of the band had a lesson with renowned guitarist Carol Kaye and Steve visited Warner Bros. studios in Burbank. “I was excited to see the set of Ellen Degeneres. One of my dreams is to do something for TV or film,” exclaimed frontman Steve Palmer.

In other news, SPB recently released their original holiday tune “In Love” to Top 40 radio from their upcoming Apparition debut. Also frontman Steve Palmer recently stopped by the Interlochen Public Radio studios in Interlochen, Mich. for a solo acoustic performance. Visit www.stevepalmerband.com to view the videos.
