Overview
I sing many of the songs from The Great American Songbook. We can perform as a trio or a quintet. You will feel as if I am delivering each individual story, just to you! These songs require personalisation to keep them fresh. I consider it my duty to transport you to another era. Let me enchant you with these classic tunes. Swinging sometimes softly, sometimes swiftly, but always swinging.

October 17, 2023A performance you’ll want to experience time and time again!
My husband and I have had the pleasure of seeing several of Pam’s live concerts, and each performance felt unique and personal. Pam has a special way of connecting with her audience; she sings with you and to you. It’s a gift to be introduced to new genres of music, and even more so when it happens live on stage through the talents and artistic expressions of esteemed performers. Pam’s voice embraced us throughout the evening, and her exceptional band was the perfect accompaniment; she and her band provided us a beautiful entryway into the enticing, swinging world of Jazz. We can’t wait for the next concert!

Dear Michelle,
What a pleasure it is to sing to you, always! I am fortunate to connect with people like you who appreciate The Great American Songbook and then let the songs penetrate deeply into their being. I look forward to singing to you again and again.
Bestest Wishes!

My wife and I had the pleasure of attending Pam's nightclub singing, and she was just marvelous. The tunes took us back of happier times, and we could see the people in the club cuddling, holding hands and just a beautiful sight people don't see today. My wife was so impressed with Pam's singing talent, she saw her 2x with her girlfriends on a Friday and Saturday night. One of her friends is a "skeptic", and she, the skeptic, was thoroughly impressed with Pam's skill. We look forward to the next time to hear her angelic voice.
As a sidebar, she is a wonderful individual and an animal advocate, she oozes positive energy to all.

October 12, 2023Pam's performance was great!
Pam Brennan and the quintet performance was top notch. We experienced lovely evening on Nov 23 2019 at the Kitano Hotel in Manhattan. I brought my family with me and all the members were deeply impressed by Pam's beautiful voice and pro sessional jazz music performed by the quintet. It was a sensational evening for all of us. Thank you, Pam.

October 9, 2023jazz standards with a twist
I attended Pam Brennan concerts at Chelsea Table and Kitano in Manhattan. Pam’s silky smooth vocals bring a new flavor to songs from the American Songbook—some familiar and some deep cuts. Her band was top notch, each taking turns with tasty solos. Recommended!

About
Began my love of music as a child growing up surrounded by jazz and Frank Sinatra. The first gig came in 1980 in Japan. I spent the next 10 years woodshedding in Piano bars loving and playing the standards. Over the years I sang many genres of music, but always come back to the Great American Songbook Standard Jazz. I've played in NYC with some of the finest jazz musicians, and now I have moved back to my home town to play with the finest in the area!
