Band Members:For Pamme, it all started when her parents bought her a portable radio cassette recorder and gave it to her for Junior High School graduation. She spent that whole summer forcing her reluctant friends to monitor her progress as she sang them her renditions of that summer's Top 40! One night, someone had a party behind her house and when she heard a band playing, she jumped the fence and crashed it. Upon hearing their singer had not shown up, Pamme said " Uh, I’m a singer!" Next thing she knew she was singing "Get Back" by the Beatles. She left the party with the band’s managers phone number written on her left wrist in lipstick. Although it took her 2 weeks to conjure up the courage to call him, she’s never forgotten how in the blink of an eye, it was as though the skies just opened up and filled her with a sense of joy and purpose that has yet to be extinguished. And thus started Pamme’s singing career!For John, it all started when he was at his best friend’s house and they happened to go into his best friend’s brother’s room and found a guitar lying on the bed. John picked it up and from that moment on was fascinated by the guitar. His best friend told John his brother’s band was playing at the local YMCA that night and they went to see them. That was it. John wanted to be a rock n’ roll star. About a year later John heard someone playing their stereo out of their bedroom window and couldn’t believe the music he was hearing. He was so moved that he went up and rang the doorbell to find out what band was playing on the record player. The reply was UFO, and the song was "Rock Bottom."
And the fire raged on…For Michael, it all started when he put on his first Beatles record. Something about Paul McCartney stirred something deep inside him. It wasn’t long before he was down at a local guitar shop ordering his first bass guitar. He had to order it since he was left-handed and they didn’t have one in stock. The wait seemed so long. After he got the bass he would sit and play along to Beatles songs. And then one day a friend played him some songs from a band called "Rush". Michael had been introduced to Geddy Lee. And so the story continues…
Influences: The band has many diverse musical influences. Pamme the Lead Vocalist and Lyricist was inspired by Kansas, Heart, Deep Purple, and Journey. She was inspired by these bands because of Steve Walsh, Ann Wilson and Steve Perry; three great singers and performers.Michael the Bass and Keyboard player was inspired by Paul McCartney, The Beatles, Kiss, Rush, Sting, and various Pop bands.John the guitar player was inspired by UFO (Michael Schenker), Black Sabbath, Rush, Deep Purple, Robin Trower, The Beatles, and classical music. Mix all that together and you have a pretty wide influence of musical styles which all add up to... Haven!
