The Palms

The Palms are an indie pop-rock duo that emerged from the vibrant musical landscape of Los Angeles, California. Comprised of Johnny Zambetti and Ben Rothbard, former members of the band Terraplane Sun, The Palms have quickly garnered attention with their blend of laid-back California vibes, introspective lyrics, and catchy melodies that toe the line between rock, pop, and psychedelic sounds.

Since forming in 2015, The Palms have independently released a series of singles and EPs that capture the spirit of their coastal roots while pushing the boundaries of the indie genre. Their music is a testament to their agility in songwriting and production, often delivering a mix of hook-laden tracks that resonate with a sense of nostalgia and contemporary freshness. From the introspective "Mulholland Dr." to the anthemic "California Child," their music encapsulates the essence of West Coast living. Their live performances, such as the dynamic "Jam in the Van - The Palms (Live Session, Los Angeles, CA, 2018)," showcase their ability to connect with audiences through infectious energy and heartfelt performances. The Palms continue to expand their reach, winning over fans with an earnest approach to music that is both relatable and uniquely their own.
