An accomplished songwriter, Pam has had her compositions recorded by artists as varied
as Chaka Khan, Martina McBride, Highway 101, Juice Newton and Conway Twitty. She was
one of the first women in Nashville to produce her own album, and she was awarded the
coveted Female Vocalist of the Year by the CMA in 1994. In 1999 Pam showed her
trademark versatility by being the first female country entertainer to ever star in a
Broadway Musical when she appeared in Smokey Joe’s Café. After performances on
Jay Leno, David Letterman and Conan O’Brien, Pam expanded her television credits
with roles in Diagnosis Murder, Promised Land and LA Law. Pam was inducted into the
Grand Ole Opry in 2000 and recently did a high profile ad campaign alongside Martina
McBride, Chely Wright and Jamie O’Neal for Easy Spirit Shoes featured in Vogue, In Style
and Redbook. In addition to becoming an Opry Member at the turn of the century, Pam
signed with Sony Records in 2000. Sony released the critically acclaimed Its All Relative
allowing her to pay tribute to her beloved father, Mel Tillis. “The Dad Album”, as she affectionately
calls it, landed her in the #4 spot of the top ten country recordings of 2002 according to the USA Today and some of the best critical
reviews of her career.
In 2006, Pam launched her own record label, Stellar Cat Records as “an A & R free-zone” for releasing her own albums away from
the commercial confines of Nashville’s Music-Row. Stellar Cat Released “Rhinestoned” Pam’s first studio album in 5 Years and just
like the Mel Tillis Tribute Record, it was met with glowing reviews from the critics including Critics Choice Award from People
Magazine and the single Band in the Window held the #1 chart position for 6 weeks on the ECMA chart in Europe.
During the Christmas season of 2007, Stellar Cat released Pam’s first holiday Album which is a mixed bag loaded with torch and
twang. With influences as diverse as Willie Nelson and Nancy Wilson, Just in Time for Christmas, walked the a fine line between down
home country and uptown torch. “I just wanted to make a Christmas album as comfortable and familiar as your favorite winter sweater.”
