Soul Shadowz is a versatile musical entertainment choice. Soul Shadowz is an instrumental ensemble, providing music that makes an excellent acoustic backdrop for your event. A Soul Shadowz performance can be customized to match your budget and the stylistic preferences of you and your guests, ranging from a solo piano/keyboard performance, to a duo, trio, or quartet. The group features the skills of jazz pianist Kyle Palmer who has played professionally for 35 years. Classically trained, jazz-experienced and an everything-for-everybody cover band keyboardist, Kyle’s repertoire covers a wide spectrum: jazz, pop, R&B, rock, Motown, and even country/western and classical.
We had a fantastic experience with Soul Shadowz. Their music really added something special to our Christmas party and we would highly recommend them.

With decades of experience working with event planners, wedding planners, and hospitality facilities, Kyle realizes that there is much more to being a successful performer at special events than just being a talented musician (which, by the way, he is!). Although it is important for the guests to enjoy the entertainment, we realize that there is much more that needs to happen to make your event successful. Kyle will coordinate and communicate with both the end-client and the planners of the event to make sure that all the bases are covered and that details such as early set-up times (to avoid disrupting ongoing activities during the day of the party), client requests, etc. are faithfully met. He will also make sure that special requests are prepared and performed in a professional manner.
Once the performance begins, the demeanor of Kyle and any of his side-men (if you choose the jazz combo) is professional and consistent with the spirit of the event and the client's wishes. We will dress appropriately for each event, and act in a respectful and appropriate manner. The guests will love our performance, and the planners and staff will appreciate our behind-the-scenes professionalism.
Soul Shadowz is the brainchild of Pianist/Band Leader Kyle Palmer. Kyle is a widely experienced cover-band and jazz combo pianist. His career has spanned nearly four decades and his specialty has been performing for special events, weddings, and corporate events. As a member of two of Colorado's top wedding/corporate events bands (Soul-X and Syndicate) as well as a member of the talent pool for Jerry Barnett (Moments Notice) Productions and Starkey Productions (Now "Imprint"), Kyle has played for literally thousands of civic and corporate events and weddings, both as a band member and a solo artist.
Soul-X was the "corporate house band" for the Denver Broncos for several years, and Kyle performed at team holiday parties, both with the band and as a soloist, and was privileged to spend a Christmas Eve in the home of coach Mike Shannahan, doing solo piano holiday music and leading Mike's guests in Christmas carols. His client list includes the Democratic National Convention, the Republican National Convention, many government officials (including current and past Denver mayors, Colorado Governors, and US Senators and Congressmen), Microsoft Corp., The Broadmoor Hotel (Colo. Springs), Oracle, SUN Microsystems, StorageTek, The American Heart Association, and literally hundreds more.

Kyle's musical tastes and abilities are incredibly diverse. As an "everything-for-everybody" cover band guy for over 30 years, Kyle has performed all musical styles, and both his combo and solo performances reflect a wide variety of musical styles. Kyle grew up listening to traditional, fusion, and smooth jazz (Miles Davis, Marcus Miller, Billy Cobham, Weather Report, Jaco, and SO many more), big band (Maynard Ferguson, Buddy Rich, etc.), classic rock (particularly Styx, Boston, Kansas, etc.), funk (Rick James, Cameo, Tower of Power, Frankie Beverly and Maze, Prince, R. Kelly, Chaka Khan, Earth Wind and Fire, etc.), and R&B (Luther Vandross, Chicago, Commodores/Lionel Richie, Bobby Brown, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, and WAY too many more to mention). His earliest experiences playing with bands was in the rough-and-tumble Denver north-side nightclubs (Park Hill, 5-Points, and Lo-do neighborhoods) playing with R&B/Soul/Funk bands. Classic and current R&B and funk is Kyle's favorite style(s) to play, and his song selection and playing styles reflect this, both as an ensemble player and a solo artist.
