Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts Presents

PALMER DIVIDE

The Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts (TLCA) is proud to present a concert featuring Palmer Divide Bluegrass Band.  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 bands:  Black Rose, Mountain Heritage, Lost Creek, and White Lightning. With their own approach to acoustic music Palmer Divide offers up their brand of acoustic music with well crafted lyrics, innovative and rock solid instrumentation, and tight three-part harmonies.  Their unique yet hauntingly familiar sound pulls from their deep respect of traditional bluegrass music as well as their desire to create a modern acoustic sound that is all their own.

The members of Palmer Divide are Jody Adams (Vocals/Mandolin/Fiddle/Guitar); Dick Carlson (Upright Bass); Greg Reed (Vocals/Guitar/Mandolin); and Mickey Stinnett (Vocals/Resonator Guitar/Banjo).  Their individual and collective resumes include such highlights as multiple performances at the White House, the Grand Ole Opry, and The Nashville Network, as well as winning the SPBGMA Mandolin Player of the Year, the Deer Creek Fiddlers Convention Dobro competition, and the Rockygrass Bluegrass Band competition.  It’s easy to see what the buzz is about.  Palmer Divide's featured songwriter, Jody Adams, routinely has tunes being featured on CMT, MTV, Access Hollywood, A&E, Fox Sports, the WB Network, ESPN, as well as having written the theme song for Bill Bennett's Radio Show ”Morning in America.”  Several of his songs have also been featured on NBC’s “Friday Night Lights.”  Visit their website at: www.palmerdivide.com/
