Artist History Raised in the Houston area, Brent Palmer decided at 13 that he had a calling. After pleading with his parents that music was his vocation, he received his first drum machine and four-track in 1992. Palmer immediately began writing thereafter. In 1996, he released his first demo. The demo received lots of local airplay and the musician was encouraged to write more. He also performed wherever and whenever he could, becoming a darling of the Austin club circuit. In 1998, he released House of Your Heart, an album that was widely praised. The musician, who has been compared to Neil Finn and Ron Sexsmith, continued to perform throughout Texas as well as NXNE and Northgate Music Festivals. He has opened up for Cowboy Mouth, Abra Moore, Jack Ingram, Martin Medeski and Wood, Cary Pierce, and Wes Cunningham. In 2002, Palmer released Boomerang Shoes. He is an Austin, TX-based singer/songwriter whose mellow pop stylings fall somewhere between the sardonic wit of Michael Penn and the yearning romanticism of Duncan Sheik. The Boomerang Shoes EP is a good five-song introduction to this introspective artist whose knack for catchy melodicism and universal statements of love and loss speak to a wider audience than the niche folk crowd.
