Current Artists

While Palmetto's roster features both established artists and up-and-coming musicians, all of the artists share certain attributes. They have developed a distinct musical voice, both as instrumentalists and as composers. They have a musical vision that encompasses jazz history but creatively moves the music forward. And finally they are proven bandleaders, with the discipline and drive to maintain working bands that translate their vision to the public. With few exceptions, Matt Balitsaris produces Palmetto's releases at Maggie's Farm, his unique recording facility located in a 19th century stone barn in eastern Pennsylvania.
