Bianca Palmer is a drummer and educator living and working in the South Shore of Nova Scotia. Having sewn roots within the Halifax all-ages music scene of yore, Palmer has come to work with a wide variety of musicians; from darkgaze outfit Vulva Culture, alt-country hero Fiver, new r&b sensation Aquakultre, to legendary new age composer Beverly Glenn-Copeland. At home in a variety of modes and genres, her passionate, big-hearted personality and deft ear infuse a given project with a certain, special edge. Her practice found new forms starting in 2015 when she began studying the empowering art of improvised music at the Creative Music Workshop series, a vital, open-minded program led by veteran jazz drummer Jerry Granelli. Perpetually in a cycle of learning, teaching and sharing, she’s exactly the kind of artist you want behind the kit, in the van, on the bill and at the table.
