Experience

Merri Palmer is a writer, musician, and entertainment producer with a long history in the film and music industries. She's produced hundreds of concerts and multiple-day music festivals. She worked for years in the costumes and pyro departments for dozens of commercials, documentaries, and TV shows, including series from Rooster Teeth, AMC, Comedy Central, and National Geographic, providing her a unique look at the way televised stories are told. She's written music reviews for Bandsintown and other ATX publications.
