Pamela Means is a Boston-based Out (spoken), Biracial indie folk artist whose "kamikaze guitar style" and punchy provocative songs have worn a hole in her guitar. Armed with razor wit poetry and irresistable charm, her "stark, defiant songs" (New York Times Magazine) set the status quo and the stage afire. Quoting her inspiration, Warrior Poet Audre Lorde, Pamela asks "I am myself -- a Black woman warrior poet doing my work -- come to ask you, are you doing yours?" With Truth as ammunition, a Pamela Means performance brings the fight for social justice and human dignity to the forefront of a new generation. If you like Dr. Bronners soap, youll probably love Pamela! (Thats no joke.)
Means,Pamela
11 tracks, some band, some solo, some spoken word, produced by Pamela. Featuring a cast of incredible musicians baptized in jazz, funk, classical, folk, and everything in between (who all happen to be women!): Lyndell Montgomery (Ember Swift), Kim Zick (Mrs. Fun), Connie Grauer (Mrs. Fun), and Juli Wood (herself and some cool jazz group in Chicago)... It's tender and fierce, subtle and unflinching, addressing everything from corrupt cops to coming out, from Bush and his cronies to Jim Crow.
