About Me

Layout designed by Viva designs by missy This is the story of a girl and a piano. When Pam was 3 years old, she was fascinated by the sounds that emerged from the strange wooden instrument five times her size. She would climb up on the bench and figure songs out one note at a time, swinging her feet back and forth above the floor. These days, Pam can often be found sitting in front of her baby grand, spending her time writing verses and choruses that help to wash the day away. It's a marriage born of keen understanding and infinite mystery. After graduating from college, Pam returned to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams. She is currently still chasing them and appreciates all the help she has had along the way. Catch Pam at one of her intimate shows around Los Angeles, give her a hug and tell her a story.Thanks to Christian B, you can hear Pam on Indie 103.1!
