Trotwood Events present Joana Serrat + Elaine Palmer
We are delighted to welcome back Joana Serrat and Elaine Palmer to the Betsey for an afternoon of cosmic Americana and delightful singer/songwriting on Saturday 16th May 2026. Tickets on sale now. Link in bio.
JOANA SERRAT Hailing from Vic, but recently relocated to London, the Catalan singer/songwriter has released six critically acclaimed albums (“…like Mazzy Star guesting on an early Neil Young demo,” Mojo), performed on the biggest festival stages across Europe and the USA and supported artists including The Jayhawks, Neko Case, Courtney Marie Andrews, The Handsome Family, and Israel Nash, while performing headline shows across the globe, including the UK.
Her music is a perfect blend of Lynchian Americana, shoegaze and cosmic country with echoes of the War On Drugs, Slowdive and Sharon Van Etten.
She’ll be performing a full band set with her brand new band of London music scene veterans (including members of The Hanging Stars, Lightshines and The See See).
ELAINE PALMER Hailing from an isolated village up on the North Yorkshire Moors, Elaine has spent much of her life travelling back and forth to family in Phoenix, Arizona. Growing up in an old Watermill, she immersed herself in music, writing songs influenced by her surroundings both in the UK and USA. Elaine finely honed her distinctive voice and built a reputation as much for her emotive, mesmerizing stage presence as for her fusion of British folk and American country styles.
Touring extensively, sharing stages with the likes of Patty Griffin, Lilly Hiatt and Seasick Steve, her two most recent releases Half Moon Rising and Some Seek Silver, Some Seek Gold have seen her working with musician and producer Mike Butler (Phoebe Bridgers, Norah Jones, The White Buffalo) at his Half Moon Lodge studio high in the San Diego hills.
