Hello, Astronaut is the solo project of 21-year-old multi-instrumentalist, Jordan Palmer. Based in Fresno, California, Palmer unites energetic beats with smooth pop lyrics to create a dynamic sound that is all his own. While only freshly out of high school, Palmer holds a level of sophistication and determination far beyond his years. Utilizing the musical skills and artistic style that he has honed and developed over the past four years, the time has come for Palmer to take to the stage and share his pop passion with the world. This is surely only the beginning.

Growing up as a home school student in Orange County, Palmer’s social and music opportunities were severely limited. With a move to Fresno at 16, Palmer found the social jolt he needed to overcome his shy disposition. With underground music venues supplying endless inspiration and entertainment, Palmer soon found his voice and gained the confidence to take his music to the next level. It wasn’t long before he too was gracing the stage of local venues – the same venues that many of his musical inspirations had previously stood before him on. This past summer brought Palmer a glimpse of the bigger stage – a highly coveted performance slot on the Ernie Ball Stage, at the Fresno stop of the 2009 Van’s Warped Tour.

Hello, Astronaut’s debut EP, Paper! Snow! A Ghost! was released on August 21st, 2009, but fans won’t have to wait long for more material. A brand new EP is already in the works for 2010, featuring the leading single “The Only One.”
