Elaine Palmer
Hailing from an isolated village up on the North Yorkshire Moors, Elaine has spent

much of her life travelling back and forth to family in Phoenix, Arizona. Growing up

in an old Watermill, she immersed herself in music, writing songs influenced by her

surroundings both in the UK and USA. Elaine finely honed her distinctive voice and

built a reputation as much for her emotive, mesmerizing stage presence as for her

fusion of British folk and American country styles.

Touring extensively, sharing stages with the likes of Patty Griffin, Lilly Hiatt and

Seasick 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 studio

high in the San Diego hills.

melody and a bittersweet and wistful repertoire, Elaine Palmer is

undoubtedly a talent’ ****

Satellite Inn
Not many original bands have alt.country pioneers bloodline (Satellite Inn's first record, Cold Morning

Songs, came out in 1998 and got praised by the alternative press), nice stories to tell (in 1997 Satellite Inn

got signed on a US label, MoodFood Records, to replace Whiskeytown that went on a Major) and great

collaborations (their lead singer, Stiv Cantarelli, put out a solo album with Richmond Fontaine as backing

band). The fact that they always preferred to shy away from the bright lights playing smokey pubs and

roadside 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). That

persuaded 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, as

well as the songs included in that demo.

After the self- release of their 2024 eponymous album, Satellite Inn, almost a decade since the death of

Robert Fisher that lost songs reappeared in a box of Satellite Inn’s unused master tapes. The material was

so inspiring for the band that they decided to pay a tribute to their old master. Those early songs sounded

so 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 in

Portland, Oregon, once run by Richmond Fontaine and now the platform distributing aural gems from the

acclaimed band The Delines.
