Episode 14: Tim Palmieri Picked Up A Fender Stratocaster And Never Looked Back

In episode fourteen, guitarist Tim Palmieri joins Zach to discuss his early life, introduction to guitar, his Stratocaster heroes, forming The Psychedelic Breakfast and Kung Fu, an impactful moment at a Phish show in 1997, seeing the Disco Biscuits play "jamtronica" at The Wetlands for the first time, getting introduced to Lotus' sound and style, touring and sitting in with Lotus years later, and most recently getting the call to step in as their lead guitarist in the wake of founding member Mike Rempels departure... along with so much more.

Tim Palmieri is the definition of a professional musician. He carries himself with a sense of genuine self-respect that shines through his interactions with both fellow musicians and audience members. The man plays a Fender Stratocaster with fiery passion that is elevated by technical fierceness. He's one of the most talented guitarists in live music. His creative abilities are matched by his intense work ethic, which is evident in all of his projects. Now that he's joining Lotus, he'll have the opportunity to headline venues across the country and spread his musicality to new fans in new places. If you're a new fan, check out his other bands - The Breakfast & Kung Fu.
