Donna Martin - SEED & HISTORY
Donna was born in Hartford CT and although she still resides in her native state she has been moving musically her whole life. Raised in a family that placed music at the center of their gatherings, Donna grew up surrounded by roots Canadian folk songs and Cajun flavored hootenannies.
Since the early 80’s she has been honing her craft. First gigging with a rhythm and blues band, then for four years, fronting a top country band in New England sharing stages with the likes of Charlie Daniels, road legend Dick Curless and opening for Alabama. An increasing fascination with the lyrical depth and the emotional immediacy of singer/songwriter music brought her to the acoustic world.

If Black warrior poet/feminist political activist Audre Lorde had taken up folk singing, she might have attacked her guitar and wrapped her lyrics around it the way Pamela Means does." -Valley Advocate, Northampton MA
Pamela Means is a Boston-based Out (spoken), Biracial, independent artist whose kamikaze guitar style and punchy provocative songs have worn a hole in her guitar. Armed with razor wit poetry and irresistable charm, Pamela Means' "stark, defiant songs" (New York Times Magazine) set the status quo and the stage afire.
