PamelaJoMusic

Pamela Jo Hatley grew up on a small family farm in the Appalachian foothills of rural north Alabama immersed in old time, bluegrass, gospel, and country music. Her favorite things are the great outdoors and earthy, rootsy, front porch music. 

Pamela Jo performs original compositions and the music of her youth, including traditional songs from deep in American history with English, Irish, and Scottish roots. Historical songs often have intriguing backgrounds, and Pamela Jo weaves storytelling into her musical performances to connect her audiences with the human context, facts, humor, and tragedy that inform the songs. Pamela Jo’s performances feature her strong vocals accompanied by acoustic instruments including banjo, guitar, mandolin, resonator guitar, and ukulele. Pamela Jo's music is both upbeat and chill, funny and serious, sometimes a sing-along, and never ordinary. 

Pamela Jo has won awards in women's vocals, group vocals, and banjo at the Florida Old Time Music Championship. She is a music instructor and has taught workshops in banjo and singing at the Florida Folk Festival and the Will McLean Festival. Pamela Jo teaches private banjo lessons in person and online. 

Pamela Jo’s music can be heard on all digital streaming platforms.
