Fara Palmer is one if the artists featured on the VIOLET FEMMES CD compilation.
Fara is a Cree/Saulteaux woman who hails from North Battleford, Saskatchewan Canada and currently lives near Kamloops B.C. Her songs are in constant rotation on Aboriginal Voices Radio, which can be heard in Vancouver (106.3 FM), Calgary (88.1 FM), Edmonton (89.3 FM), Kitchener (102.5 FM),Toronto (106.5 FM), Ottawa (95.7 FM) and in Montreal (106.7 FM).
I was immediately taken in by the honesty of her songwriting and performance. Her songs have the ability to bring you tears as well as belly laughs. 'Blah Blah Blah' is the song selected for the VIOLET FEMMES CD and its tongue in cheek treatment of the universal subject of faithfulness is right on. Fara rules. You can learn more about her at FARA'S MYSPACE PAGE
Fara is a passionate person, devoted to her girls and family, driven by her need to create and constantly learning and growing as we all aspire to do.
I am thrilled to be able to post this video clip for you to experience.
Here is Fara performing at the 2007 National Aboriginal Achievement Awards, Edmonton. She is singing "To Bring Back Yesterday", a song she wrote about her mothers experience at residential school.
