Artist Biography

BILL PALMER is a guitarist, producer, songwriter, composer, musician, lecturer and an educational author currently based in Brisbane, Australia. His style is a mix of rock tones, ambient sound-scapes and jazz-influenced harmony. He is currently endorsed by Fender guitars.
Along similar stylistic lines to Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson but with a voice all his own, Bill’s debut self-recorded album “Outlines” (ToneFreak Records, 2007) has garnered much critical acclaim from both music industry press and insiders and has been described as:
“Classic Satch style shred…” Australian Guitar Volume 64
“Face melting runs, complex arpeggios…” Rave Magazine
“Your material is awesome, really great stuff…” Mark Holden – Aust. Idol Judge
“Great playing, writing and arranging – awesome!” T.J Helemerich (LA based producer)
“Bill Palmer’s “Outlines” is a guitar pickers heaven…” Manly Daily
“Tone, control and melody – epic sounding….” Aust Guitar Vol.64
“Plenty of heat, the songs are both catchy and original…” Manly Daily
Bill is also an independently published author of 3 books; “Concepts of Jazz,” “The Intermediate Guitarists Compendium” and “Outlines Addendum.” Furthermore, Bill released a new EP, “Space and Time”volume one late 2016.
Space and Time [EP] Vol. 1 is a collection of 5 instrumental pieces that were written, recorded and mixed between 2011 and 2016. Every sound on the recording has been created with an electric guitar and signal processing.
