Singer and songwriter Stephen Hardy Palmer is on a western Canadian tour and will be making his way to Moose Jaw on Saturday, Feb. 16 with a performance of his newest album, ‘The Journey in Story and Song.’
Palmer will be performing at the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery Theatre, accompanied by Moose Jaw’s Kelly Sapergia on keyboard. The show will start at 7 p.m. Tickets will be $15 at the door.
‘The Journey in Story and Song’ is Palmer’s fifth studio album. It is dedicated to his late wife Lorraine Beverley Hill.
“This album is dedicated to my sweet wife Lorraine. We lived in Moose Jaw for 10 years. The album talks about our love and takes listeners on a journey of our relationship. Some songs are about her while some are about life in general,” said Palmer.
He says he is looking forward to performing in Moose Jaw, a place he says is very dear to his heart.
“Performing in Moose Jaw will also give me an opportunity to reconnect with family and friends. The evening will bring a lot of love and laughter and lots of great stories. I’m looking forward to being in Moose Jaw.”
Originally from Edmonton AB, Palmer now has over 50 years of performing experience. Over the years he has opened for, and backed up, music legends like Dick Damron, George Hamilton IV, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, and The Who.
In 2018 Palmer was inducted into the Edmonton Music Hall of Fame. These last few years he has concentrated on his own song writing and has five albums of ‘original and traditional’ music released.
His music has been heard on CBC and community radio stations across Canada, Europe, and in the US on NPR.
Palmer is always working on new projects. 'The Journey in Story and Song’ can be downloaded from his website.
