Nashville based multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, creative
This tour finished up in May 2024 - what an experience!
When she’s not performing as a solo artist, or with the experimental duo Slow Force, Nashville-based Megan Palmer is offering a different kind of healing as a palliative care nurse. She writes and sings about all she’s experienced this past year on the upcoming EP Take Good Care, often with help from her healthcare peers. Palmer and frontline worker Anna Marie Henderson collaborate here on “Stop for a Minute,” a beautiful anecdote about the intimate connection between caregiver and patient. Recorded with Nashville all-stars like Raconteurs bassist Jack Lawrence, drummer Megan Coleman, and Jon James Tourville on dreamy pedal-steel, it manages to be both sad and upbeat all at once. “What’s on the other side,” Palmer asks in song, “we never know.”
