Snow Palms is a group led by David Sheppard (State River Widening, Ellis Island Sound, Phelan/Sheppard, etc.) as the vehicle for his experiments with xylophones, glockenspiels, vibraphones, metallophones and other classical instruments. Inspired by artists like Moondog, his music is highly experimental yet remains organic. Between pastoral and contemporary music, the SNOW PALMS project will appeal to fans of SYLVAIN CHAUVEAU and MOONDOG.
