Pam Bedwell

Storytelling is a family trait inherited from a spirited cast of funeral directors, preachers, textile factory workers, rum runners, and nurses.  In song Pamela captures a moment in time of ordinary people living not so ordinary lives. Her lyrics have been described as simple yet complicated with a twist and her songs full of ‘sassitude’.  Her vocals have been described as an amalgam of Southern gospel and ‘swarmy jazzy blues’.  If asked about the genre of her music she will proudly proclaim that it is Americana Magpie. Whatever arrangement breathes life into the song that is what you will hear.

What began in 2015 as a mid-life hobby has become a budding second career. It was launched with the inclusion of Sad Stories on a 2017 promotional CD for Macon, Georgia which led to the 2018 release of the album The Year of Still Here by The Pammie Kakes Ensemble.   Pamela has released several singles and collaborations with songwriters and musicians in Guatemala, the UK, Canada, and Germany.  Artists with whom she has the pleasure of working include Joey Stuckey,  Kevin Holly,  Phillip Lammonds, Tisha Simeral, Miquel Castro, Jen Slocumb, and Ralph Ogunbiyi.     

Noteworthy performances include the 1st Annual Opelika Songwriter’s Festival, Macon Georgia’s Bragg Jam, Joey Stuckey’s Alive Day Concerts, and the New Orleans Folk Alliance International Annual Conference.  Several of her songs are in the catalogues of music supervisors for television and film.
