If you heard his music without knowing how old he is, it would be hard to imagine that it wasn’t being played by someone who had developed that level of skill over a lifetime. Vergennes native Matteo Palmer's debut release, Out Of Nothing, was brought to life by Grammy winning producer and Windham Hill Records founder Will Ackerman, with bassist Tony Levin lending a hand.
Seven Days says: "Palmer plays with equal measures of elegance and energy, delivering fluid melody lines and hammering rich, percussive phrases that are stunning on a technical level. What is most remarkable about Matteo Palmer is his sensitivity. Whether a result of Ackerman’s teaching or his own maturity, Palmer performs with a sense of humility and grace that might be the envy of many players two and three times his age. He is delicate and precise, his tone pure and beautiful. Every note he plays, every tap of the fret board, every bend of a string, every ringing harmonic, is employed only in service to his ethereal and evocative compositions. The result is a rich tapestry of sound that’s both soothing and thrilling, and an album that signals the arrival of a brilliant young Vermont talent."
