 Hundred Year
Flood currently splits their time between Austin, TX and the artist
mecca of Santa Fe, NM. They have played all over the western U.S., and
have toured in Mexico. The members are Felecia Ford (voice and keys),
Bill Palmer (guitar and voice), Jim Palmer (drums) and Kendra Lauman
(bass). They play southern-fried roots rock that ranges from beautiful
folk-rock ballads to gritty, politically saavy country punk; from stark
darkness to a frenzied twang. Felecia Ford is a West Texas master of
voice, who cut her teeth on Broadway show tunes and the big production
theatrical stage, as well as the underground roots scene of Austin. Bill
Palmer's songwriting and guitar playing is as steeped in shoegazer
Brit-pop as it is in Texas country tradition and folk poetry. Bill's
younger brother, Jim Palmer is powerful and nimble simultaneously with
his unique drum style, inspired by African pop and American rock. Kendra
Lauman roots the music to the ground with her thoughtful and solid bass
approach. The band currently has four albums under it's belt: 2000's
self-titled release, 2003's critically acclaimed "Flutterstrut", 2004's
"Cavalier" and just released on Frogville Records: "blue angel". They
have performed at the High Sierra Music Festival in Quincy, CA, and have
recently played sold out shows with James McMurtry and Son Volt.
