Palamara

I have a new record coming out on April 11! It’s called Tomorrow is a Friend, and I recorded this one at home by myself, something I had never done before. A few of my friends came along at the end to add a few things, which was really lovely. I had the privilege to press this record on vinyl, which you can order now (link in bio). It’s a 12 inch vinyl, and it’s a recycled vinyl in a rose red. Tell your friends about the record if you think they’ll dig it.

Today, I’m debuting a biweekly show on @marblegardenradio and through my newsletter on Substack. I’ve always loved making mixtapes, and putting this show together feels like the closest online version of that. Link to the latest episode in my bio. New mixes will drop every other Tuesday starting in February. Enjoy!

I’ll be playing @theums this summer! I’m looking forward to playing my first festival and being a part of the UMS lineup. Stay tuned for more info on when and where you can see me play, but mark your calendars for July 25-27 in the meantime. #theums #undergroundmusicshowcase

I’m happy to share that I’ll be playing a solo show at @etown_radio (Boulder, CO) on Friday, May 29, 2026.

Anchored in the sounds of folk, country and ambient music, he writes songs about the human condition that are contemplative, cinematic and witty, sometimes all at once. He is an art gallery manager by day, musician by night. Palamara has been direct support in the past for Willie Watson, The Milk Carton Kids and Cale Tyson among others. The music blog Surviving the Golden Age once described his music as "Lambchop or the Magnetic Fields with a country twang." For years, as a drummer and hired gun, Bendy provided an appropriately unhinged rhythmic bed for other’s music. Meanwhile the cross section of his loves - recording, producing, animating, and building began to coalesce into unique projects, installations, and performances. To date, Ben has performed and recorded with The National, Moses Sumney, Beth Orton, Mouse on Mars, Rozi Plain, Serengeti, and WHY?, many of whom appear on his upcoming debut record ‘muted colors’ as a part of an ever expanding constellation of collaborators. Beyond touring, his artistic practice continues to evolve through participation in a variety of Artist Residences; The National’s Homecoming Festival (2018), 37d03d Berlin (2018), and BANFF Arts Center (2020). Ben currently works as a freelance producer, composing new music and sound design for Emmy Award-winning films, institutions, and brands including The North Face, The Smithsonian, Boars Head, ArtWorks, Cleod9, bombASSbabes, and the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center.

I got to make a video for “This Could Part the Wave” with my friend @janelburns , which was a real treat. We worked together on the basic idea, and she shot and edited it. To watch the full video, check my bio for the link.

I’ve started a newsletter on Substack! Link’s in my bio. Please subscribe if you want to follow along. My first post went up this morning. I’ve thought a lot about how I want to connect with people as an artist, and it’s increasingly clear to me that I needed to make some changes. I’ll probably get buried in the algorithm for saying this, but Instagram isn’t my jam. I’ll still make major announcements here, but the best place to find me going forward is on Substack. In my newsletter, I’ll share regular updates on shows and new music, playlists of songs I’m digging, and essays on my songwriting process for paid subscribers. I’m looking forward to it, and I hope you follow me over there. ✌🏼 📷: @youbetdesign
