From the very beginning, communications with May were outstanding. She made coordinating their performance at our party very easy via email and phone. May Palmer was professional all the way!
But that was just the beginning. Little did we know we were going to be entertained by truly a gifted talent. Sure, we knew she could sing but there are singers and then there are true talented performers. Sometimes you’re able to get a glimpse of a rising star on their way up and tonight proved to be one of those times. From her rousing rendition of “Mustang Sally” to a heartfelt “Georgia on my Mind”, May had us in the palm of her hand. Everyone agreed, we were witness to something very special this night. I listened to my guests comments as they watched this marvelous band fronted by the Northwest’s own Diva, May Palmer. What I heard was;
“This is incredible, she’s amazing!”,
“Where did you find her, she’s a true talent!”,
“..her band is so good!”,
“What a fun time! When’s your next party?”,
“It’s like being at the Gorge watching a name band.”.
“Wow, she sounds like Aretha Franklin or Ella Fitzgerald. How on Earth could you get her for a private party?”
Soon she’ll be playing to packed concert houses and touring the world. Book May while you can!
Thanks for making our party memorable “girlfriend”. xoxoxoxox

May Palmer and her accompanist arrived early, were promptly setup for her performance, and opened on cue. This was not a big surprise, but you never know about these things. The Big surprise was when she started to sing! Glory hallelujah, can that gal sing. She is a young Ella, there is no doubt about it. She drew one standing ovation after another, and left her audience thrilled. I have booked some very fine Talent from GigMasters. I have not been disappointed. May palmer is something else indeed. Oh so very fine. May Palmer is a cut above and gives new definition to “great talent.” If you are looking for a Voice, look no farther than the lovely and talented May Palmer and friends. She will make your reputation, she made mine.
