An Evening With Pamela Means

Join jazz singer-songwriter Pamela Means for an afternoon of powerful music, connection, and songs that inspire people to speak up and stand together. Pamela’s I-can't-believe-it's-only-one-person-playing-guitar groove will stir, settle, and soothe your deepest soul. Listeners have compared Pamela’s style to Tracy Chapman and Ani DiFranco, and some see her as a cross between Suzanne Vega and Jimi Hendrix, and heir to the legacy of Nina Simone. “But, really,” says Pamela, “I'm just me." 

With her "mad guitar-and-vocal skills" (Time Out New York), Pamela Means, singer-songwriter, artist-activist-educator, and jazz musician, has toured throughout the world. Her work resonates with audiences because it addresses themes from the state of the union to the state of the heart. Curve Magazine named Means, "one of the fiercest guitar players and politically-rooted singer-songwriters in the music industry today."
