The Stamp Collectors Music People
Darcy Gibson, Ned Brower and Orion Palmer are a bunch of friends from the Oneonta area who’ve been playing to- gether for years. They formed The Stamp Collectors in 2007, and have been performing their eclectic brand of folky, rootsy, poppy, punky, funky music.
Gibson described their shows as the three of them “hang-
ing out and letting people watch (them) make each other laugh, and people find it entertaining.”
The group plays everything from robot-themed shows to popular rock covers at bars to their own original music.
