PAMELA MEANS is a singer-songwriter with a penchant for protest songs. Conservatory-trained and best known for her folk music career, she is also a superb jazz singer and social activist. Curve Magazine calls her “one of the fiercest guitar players and politically rooted singer-songwriters in the music industry today.”
“When Pamela Means picks up her guitar and begins to sing, a listener doesn’t forget her. She possesses musical attitude and purpose.” - WSHU Connecticut Public Radio
“She's got more chops than the gentle pickers of her ilk will ever have.” - Oregon Live (Portland OR)
“Means sings, lightly striking her strings for Michael Hedges-style harmonics that sparkle like stars in a hilltown sky.” - Daily Hampshire Gazette
“Singer-songwriter and demigod, Pamela Means, is one of the fiercest guitar players and politically rooted [singer-songwriters] in the music industry today... With [Pamela Means Jazz Project Vol. 1] Means takes her rightful place among contemporary superstar jazz vocalists such as Cassandra Wilson and Norah Jones.” Curve Magazine
