She has graced the stage at Crypto.com Arena (formerly the Staples Center) in Los Angeles, The Royal Albert Hall in England, and The Tokyo Dome in Japan. Pamela also enthralled audiences when playing in the round at the historic Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, a location which has seen the likes of Garth Brooks, Faith Hill, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, and many more.

ABOUT PAMELA MCNEILL

Pamela McNeill has been a songwriter from the young age of 15-years-old. She has performed as an international vocalist and has released seven solo albums including “Neon Lightning,” which arrived in 2022 from Farm To Label Records. Pamela discovered the power of making a personal connection through music as a teen when she joined a rock band at the age of 16. She played songs by bands like Heart and Journey, and the experience taught her how to work hard and master audience interactions. For Pamela, songwriting is “cathartic, an expression of emotion, a challenge to convey things in as few words as possible.”

A native of Winona, Minnesota, Pamela still resides in her home state, though her early music career took her to the United Kingdom for four years. During this time, Pamela performed and recorded as a backing singer for international icon Rick Astley, who gifted her with the honor of playing at the Royal Albert Hall on her birthday for the Smash Hits TV Awards Show. She also sang with Astley at The London Palladium for the Royal family.

As a prolific songwriter, Pamela has also written songs for and with a wide range of other artists, including Wynonna Judd, Jim Peterik, Yanni, and Buffy Lawson, and has co-written tracks with fellow songwriters such as Pam Tillis and Bobby E. Boyd.

Pamela began releasing albums of original music in 1999, building on her reflective and emotive songwriting and her seasoned professionalism as a vocalist and pianist. Her stand-out live performances provide feedback and fuel to help her continue developing her craft as she steadily releases new music. Keep an eye out for even more new music to come.

Exciting news! Pamela is being inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame!

We are excited to share that Pamela will be inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame next April! Please see message below from Pamela! Congratulations, Pamela! A well deserved honor!

Hello!

If you haven't heard yet - last week, I received a letter that informed me that I am going to be inducted into the MINNESOTA MUSIC HALL OF FAME at a ceremony in April 2024!

I am overwhelmed and shocked and so very very honored to be included in this rich list of artists and musicians. I am still trying to process these feelings.

When I found out, I sat at the kitchen table and thought about my musical journey - and things I hadn't thought about for years. And it was quite moving. I think I was born a musician - it's all I ever wanted to do.

Thank you with all my heart to those who have shared in my journey along the way. Who've come to shows, bought my music and merch and collaborated with me onstage and off. All of my great teachers and musical peers. And thank you to the MMHOF Board of Directors for bestowing upon me this incredible honor. I'm humbled and so very grateful!

~Pamela

This song is for the kid …

This song is for the kid who may feel lonely or out of place, but who is reminded of the wonder, joy and possibilities of life when they see the glow of holiday lights.

I think about being a kid and coming home on the bus after school when it was dark out and feeling my heart lift as I saw the houses all lit up on the route home.
