Description

Niagara Coffee Haus welcomes Pamela Means, Singer-songwriter, jazz musician, activist, educator. Sponsored by Middlesex Bank. Doors at 7:30. "Within the music industry, I've been compared to both Tracy Chapman and Ani DiFranco. I've also been described as a cross between Suzanne Vega and Jimi Hendrix. And, heir to the legacy of Nina Simone.
But, really, I'm just me." - Pamela Means “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 “She's got more chops than the gentle pickers of her ilk will ever have.”   — Oregon Live, Portland OR “Good stuff.” — Neil Young “If Black warrior poet / feminist political activist Audre Lorde had taken up folk singing, she might have attacked her guitar and wrapped her lyrics around it the way Pamela Means does.”   — Valley Advocate, Northampton MA "Live at Northfire" showcases six Pamela Means original songs. Primarily, politically-charged indictments of our sociopolitical landscape plus a dose of romantic reprieve from two mesmerizing ballads." - Curve Magazine ‘Walking through the fire’: Easthampton singer Pamela Means releases album focused on systemic racism - Daily Hampshire Gazette, Northampton MA "Pamela Means calls out the Strange Fruit in her savvy songwriting" - Bill Copeland Music News, Western Massachusetts Visit her website at https://www.pamelameans.com/ Links to stories about Pamela and her music: https://www.passim.org/artists/pamela-means/ https://valleyadvocate.com/2020/03/27/pamela-means-is-all-that-jazz/ https://www.billcopelandmusicnews.com/2020/06/pamela-means-calls-out-the-strange-fruit-in-her-savvy-songwriting/
