Bio
After becoming a local star in her hometown of Anderson,
Indiana, Pam headed East at the age of 21 and lived in New York
City’s Greenwich Village, singing anything that would pay the
rent – with dance bands around the tri-state area, show bands that
played the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean, and a year’s stint
singing at the legendary Mamma Leone’s restaurant in NYC. She
began writing songs and playing rock clubs like Kenny’s
Castaways and The Bitter End and small cabarets, including
Greene Street, Kelly’s Village West, 5 & 10 No Exaggeration, and
Good Times.
When a band she was touring with broke up while on the road,
Pam returned to her roots in Indiana where she was immediately
in demand for recording sessions for jingles and backup vocals
for albums. She was a featured vocalist with Mercury recording
artists, Faith Band, and received rave reviews in Variety magazine
for her vocal prowess and charismatic stage presence. She
produced and sang demos for various songwriters, all the while

recording and performing her own original compositions. Her new wave rock band, Video Kids, with fellow songwriter
Randy King, Rod Coons and Dave Myers, became a cult favorite, playing the college and club circuit in the Midwest.
But the lure of New York City drew her back and Pam formed a new band. The Joneses, a blues band featuring Willy
Dalton on guitar and Vince Cherico on drums, played such NYC landmark clubs such as Tramps, The Lone Star, The Cat
Club and Sweetwaters. Reps from independent record label, Left Field Records saw Pam perform and signed her to a
recording contract. The result was two CDs of original music, Die Happy and Dancing On The Pyramids, which received
rave reviews and airplay in the US and internationally. In 2001, Pam made a splash in the NYC cabaret circuit, earning a
MAC (Manhattan Association of Clubs and Cabarets) AWARD nomination and avid following. Her most recent CD
Something Wonderful, produced by Beat Productions, was based on her acclaimed cabaret show of the same name. Pam's
concert career includes stints as headliner and as opening act for such major artists as The Doobie Brothers, Hall & Oates,
the Go-Go’s, Stray Cats, Joan Jett, Asleep At The Wheel and Ronnie Blakely.
Since 2008, Pam has been the Associate Director of The International Cabaret Conference At Yale University, producing a
summer program which trains a select group of singers from around the world in the art of Cabaret performance. In
addition to running the Cabaret Conference with her long-time colleague and collaborator, Erv Raible, Pam also
coordinates the Conference's acclaimed public concert series, Summer Nights Cabaret Concerts at Yale.
As an actor, Pam has appeared in leading roles in NYC and regionally including: August Osage County, Sam Shepard’s A
Lie Of The Mind, Blood Brothers and Women of Manhattan by John Patrick Shanley. In 1997, Pam started writing and
subsequently earned a degree in dramatic writing at The New School in NYC. She wrote the award-winning play, LENI, and
is at work writing and composing music for SHIP OF FOOLS THE MUSICAL, based on Katherine Anne Porter's
acclaimed novel. BEHIND THE MASK, Pam's play based on a story by Louisa May Alcott was produced at Stella May
Gallery Theater in Kingston, New York in June 2011. Pam is an active member of New York's Hudson Valley arts
community, as a musician, actress, director and teacher. Pam lends her time and talents to many community service
projects, including the administration of Next Step Men's Homeless Center in NYC. She is a member of Actor's Equity
Association, Screen Actors Guild, The Dramatists Guild, BMI, Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU) and MAC (Manhattan
Association of Clubs and Cabarets.)
