Colorado-based singer/songwriter/pianist Pamela Machala performs a wide variety of genres including Top 40, Motown, classic rock, jazz, classical, and original songs. She has over 10 years of experience entertaining for many types of events, including wedding ceremonies and receptions, birthday and anniversary parties, corporate events, live karaoke, venue shows, and festivals. She is equally comfortable getting everyone onto the dance floor with Earth Wind & Fire's "September," leading a raucous singalong of Bon Jovi's "Livin' On a Prayer," and blending seamlessly into the ambiance of an intimate event with Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable".
Pamela Machala played for our corporate event for about 400 guests. We wanted something for "background" music. Something that would not be intrusive but would add to the event and keep attendees engaged. She was an excellent communicator, arrived with time to spare for set-up, had an amazing voice and song set, totally could read the room and fit right in with the vibe of the night! We would definitely hire her again! She would also be incredible for a wedding or social event.
Response from Pamela Machala:
Thank you so much for the kind review, Chris! I loved meeting Veronika and Jim and playing for your event. :)
Pamela played background music for my son’s post-wedding brunch. She was punctual, professional and perfect for thIs event.
Response from Pamela Machala:
Thank you Bethe! It was my pleasure to play for your lovely brunch event.

"Built on her recognizable ability to deliver songs that come across as incredibly catchy, yet deep and heartfelt...Machala artfully turns a phrase and still manages to make us dance." - Colorado Daily
"Pamela Machala is a big, fresh talent to keep an eye on...Machala’s vocal performances are revelatory." - BolderBeat
“Pamela's song [Bleeding Me Dry] was a runaway winner...It's the largest margin for a winning song we've ever had, a real testament to the songwriting ability of Ms. Machala.” - Tony Zotta, President of SongDoor International Songwriting Competition
Colorado-based singer/songwriter Pamela Machala (“MOCK-uh-luh”) calls her latest album Something Simple. Pamela strikes an earthy yet elegant aesthetic balance with influences ranging from jazz and soul to musical theater and folk. Signatures of Pamela’s songwriting include sprightly hooks, effortless vocals, subtly complex chord changes, feelgood funky grooves, and boldly vulnerable lyrics. The songs on Something Simple, which would fit comfortably on a playlist with artists such as Sara Bareilles, Carole King, and Lake Street Dive, have already earned Pamela some accolades: American Songwriter awarded her an Honorable Mention in their July 2018 lyric contest for "Cardboard Cutout”, and her song “Bleeding Me Dry” received the Grand Prize in the 2019 SongDoor International Songwriting Competition.
