ROOTS
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Born and raised in Independence, MO, Noe Palma attended Fort Osage High School and went on to Columbia College on a volleyball scholarship, competing in NAIA Division one. Noe went on to pursue a career as a firefighter starting with the Kansas City Fire Department in 1999.
Around 2008, his band "Broken Cowboys" was picked up by RPM Management as an "under the radar" project. Scott Siman, known for being Tim McGraw's manager, owned RPM Management. They instantly advised him to go solo if he wanted to continue with them. Reluctantly, he followed their advice and dissolved the band. For the next two years, Noe flew to Nashville monthly to write and shop for songs. Unfortunately, that formula didn’t work for either party, so he formed a new band and marketed himself as Noe Palma. With the connections he made in Nashville and Kansas City, it was easy to keep rolling out new music.
With the help of Jason Matthews, Bobby Pinson, Dallas Davidson, Ashley Gurley, and Old Dominion—each of whom has multiple No. 1 songs.
Noe continues to perform, entertaining and bringing his authentic voice to country music.
FAMILY
For Noe, music is more than just a passion—it's a connection to his heritage, nurtured from a young age by his mother, who helped him find his voice through harmonies. Now, on occasion, Noe shares the stage with his brother, Ryan, also a talented singer and musician, transforming the stage into a celebration of their shared roots and the enduring spirit of their cultural identity. If concertgoers are really lucky, Noe’s Dad will also join the boys on stage for a rare family performance. As a second-generation Filipino-American and a captain with the Kansas City Fire Department (following in his stepfather’s footsteps), Noe’s life is a testament to the power of family and tradition.
