A biracial lesbian with a penchant for protest songs, Pamela is also known to dip into the Great American Songbook for jazz standards from 1930s-1950s made famous by Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Fats Waller, and more. Pamela has shared the stage with Ani Defranco, Pete Seeger, Neil Young, Indigo Girls, Joan Baez, Shawn Colvin and a plethora of contemporary artists. Whatever she has in store for the Niagara will be more than welcome. Mama’s Boy opens.
