Jon Palmer Band

Jon Palmer is a former winner of the Grolsch UK Songwriter of the Year and a published songwriter with Sony. The Jon Palmer Acoustic Band is a 6 piece folk, roots and rock n roll combo playing lots of Jon's songs and carefully selected covers. Best described as a cross between The Pogues and the Springsteen Seeger Session Band, with a bit of Waterboys and Saw Doctors thrown in for good measure!
