Hello. Welcome to my music website. I’m a singer-songwriter in the Atlanta, Georgia area. I sing and write and perform songs of life, love, faith, and sometimes quirky songs about the color pink. I also love to sing jazz and standards with my band, River North. Thanks for stopping by. Here’s a little bit more about me….
I’ve been singing ever since I can remember. My mother said I started singing before I started talking. (and I must admit, I feel more comfortable singing in front of people than talking.) While I was still a kid, I began writing stories and songs, singing a lot locally. I recorded my first project of original songs when I was 19. I continued writing songs and honing my craft over the years (recording two additional albums in 1997 & 2003), and performing to some degree, but have been mostly off the stage while raising a family of four boys. In 2009 my husband passed away 2 weeks after receiving a diagnosis of a fatal, fast-moving, neurological disease called CJD; leaving me to be a single mom of young children. I processed my loss, as well as God’s goodness and faithfulness in the midst of it through songwriting. A collection of songs that described my journey emerged, a new CD project recorded and a renewed motivation to share my songs again. You can read more about it under “Soft place to land CD”. Recently I wanted to make the WHOLE project available online, on this website. (not just on a physical CD) So it’s now ALL here – ALL the songs, ALL the stories behind the songs,ALL the lyrics with additional pictures AND a grief resource page, all in one place! My hope is that it can encourage anyone going through loss ….or for those who minister to those going through loss. Check it out. And feel free to pass the link along to others.
Besides my solo projects, I also have a band. In the fall of 2021 a new thing emerged in my musical world. A few of my dear music friends and I started playing together – a mix of standards, jazz and originals. We are…..River North. We are having a blast playing in the local area, creating venues of connection in the community – as well as being a hired band for parties, receptions…etc. River North
And the most recent, sweetest news in my personal life is that after 14 years of being a widow, I’m now remarried to a wonderful, amazing man, Dwight Kieser. So technically and legally I’m Pam Kieser – but for music reasons I’ll still be Pam Hamilton for now. Family Update
Anyway – hope you enjoy my songs (with or without band), and I hope that they will encourage, inspire and refresh you. (and for my “lighter songs” – maybe even make you laugh a little too.)
Thanks for stopping by….. and listening.
