Spence Palermo is a Singer, Songwriter and Storyteller whose musical roots in Oregon reach back to 1974 and the mid-Willamette Valley's favorite "One Hit Wonder Band",  Blackhawk County. The Band's regional hit single, "Oregon I Can't Go Home" stayed at # 1 on Portland AM radio (Remember AM radio?) for six weeks during the

summer of 1974 and reached #16 on the national

Billboard charts. Local success led to extensive

touring and an original album (Remember those?)

 of original rock and country songs.

 Palermo’s passion for Americana and Roots music simmered on the

back burner while earning degrees in Film Production and Romance Languages from the

University of Oregon and pursuing a successful 30+ year career as an international documentary

filmmaker

Since 2010 Palermo has

been  enjoying playing,

performing, writing and

recording an eclectic blend of

Americana Blues, Roots, Rockabilly, Country and unplugged rock and soul classics. Drawing 

                                    from a deep and ever evolving song bag that spans the last 50 years.  

                                    Palermo’s passion for the music and the people

                                    who enjoy it is evident as he continues to entertain audiences in cafes,

                                    coffee houses, pubs, wineries and festivals across Oregon. 

 

Palermo brings his worldwide experiences and his love of storytelling to every performance, and

to his original songs. The songwriting is fueled by the real stories of real people all over the planet

is inspired by his ongoing love affair with Oregon, it’s places and people.  

Garnering inspiration from the PNW lifestyle, from riding the trails

of theNez Perce in the Wallow Mountains to sailing the San Juan

Islands, of Puget Sound, the flavor and soul of the Pacific Northwest is

                                          always at the heart of the music and is

                                          hopefully conveyed through the songs.

                               A self-produced album of all Original music

    t                              

                                     “Whatever It Takes To Get There”

                              is currently in production and is scheduled for an autumn 2023 release.
