Growing upin an old Watermill, she immersed herself in music, writing songs influenced by hersurroundings both in the UK and USA. Elaine finely honed her distinctive voice andbuilt a reputation as much for her emotive, mesmerizing stage presence as for herfusion of British folk and American country styles.Touring extensively, sharing stages with the likes of Patty Griffin, Lilly Hiatt andSeasick Steve, her two most recent releases Half Moon Rising and Some Seek Silver,Some Seek Gold have seen her working with musician and producer Mike Butler(Phoebe Bridgers, Norah Jones, The White Buffalo) at his Half Moon Lodge studiohigh in the San Diego hills.‘Palmer’s powerful expressive voice stands comparison with Emmylou’RnR Magazine‘Carefully constructed, strong on melody, her best work yet’*****AmericanaUKMOJO ‘With a beautifully conversational voice, an unerring sense ofmelody and a bittersweet and wistful repertoire, Elaine Palmer isundoubtedly a talent’ ****MOJO ‘ Authentic New Country, dark and edgy’Satellite InnNot many original bands have alt.country pioneers bloodline (Satellite Inn's first record, Cold MorningSongs, came out in 1998 and got praised by the alternative press), nice stories to tell (in 1997 Satellite Inngot signed on a US label, MoodFood Records, to replace Whiskeytown that went on a Major) and greatcollaborations (their lead singer, Stiv Cantarelli, put out a solo album with Richmond Fontaine as backingband). The fact that they always preferred to shy away from the bright lights playing smokey pubs androadside bars it only proves that they stayed true with themselves.Back in 2002, Satellite Inn were the italian touring band for Robert Fisher (Willard Grant Conspiracy). Thatpersuaded him to handle the production of what it should have been Satellite Inn’s second album.What did happen is that MoodFood Records went out of business and the band on permanent hiatus, aswell as the songs included in that demo.After the self- release of their 2024 eponymous album, Satellite Inn, almost a decade since the death ofRobert Fisher that lost songs reappeared in a box of Satellite Inn’s unused master tapes. The material wasso inspiring for the band that they decided to pay a tribute to their old master. Those early songs soundedso fresh that they became the backbone of their new record, due out on February 2026.For the occasion, Satellite Inn will team up again with their old friends at the historic El Cortez label inPortland, Oregon, once run by Richmond Fontaine and now the platform distributing aural gems from theacclaimed band The Delines.
