Jones is a Western/Folk Singer/Songwriter, an author and a native Texan who lives in New Mexico. He's won just about every award out there for both his western music and his writing! He was the International Western Music Association’s 2014 Male Performer of the Year and winner of that organization’s 2019 Song of the Year, along with the Academy of Western Artists 2016 Western Song of the Year and the Western Writers of America 2013, 2017 and 2021 Spur Awards for Best Western Song. His songs and books are about the West – cowboys, horses and cattle, cattle rustlers, the coming of the train – songs about people and land, rivers and mountains, the beauty of the Western sky.
Jones has produced twelve Western/Folk albums and is currently celebrating his newest release - “Storyteller: Tales From the West”, as well as five Western novels, a novella and a Children’s Book in the Western genre. His Western novels include the Jared Delaney series, “Rustler’s Moon,” “Colorado Moon” and “Waning Moon,” and the spin-off series including “The Big Empty” (2016) and “The Lights of Cimarron” (2019), published by both Five Star Publishing and Speaking Volumes Press.
Jones is also a member of the western trio “The Cowboy Way”, which was awarded “Traditional Group of the Year” from the International Western Music Association in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021.
Palmer comes from the high plains of Amarillo, Texas. He sings songs of life lived to its fullest, and of the beauty of the everyday and the commonplace. He helps us all to celebrate the good things on our lives, and to cultivate the awareness and appreciation of the many gifts we find along the way.
Palmer is celebrating the release of his new CD “Waterline” produced by the legendary Merel Bregante of Austin, Texas, and will be featuring songs from his new release as well as songs from previous recordings.
Palmer is a cross between a painter and a poet. And not fine art but scraping, sanding, priming, make it like new, painter. The son of a paint contractor, he has a desire to make things beautiful. You read it in his lyrics and you hear it in his voice as he brings his songs to life. Songs from down deep in the bucket, with clean lines, brushed to bring living into a sweeter, better focus. Every song is a reflective rendition of life at its most basic core. No apologies for songs close to the heart. He celebrates frailties, friendships, and family. Join him for an adventure. A deep dive into the interesting and intoxicating twists and turns of the joy of life.
