Pamela Benton Band

The singer/songwriter has assembled an all-star band featuring some of the finest musicians of the Northwest. Experience Benton's newly released originals, familiar favorites and covers with a full-band sound.

Classically trained on the violin, Benton's music genres include indie pop rock, with an influence of jazz and world and can be best described as “Norah Jones meets Sting.”

Accompanying Benton's vocals, electric violin and electric guitar are Matthew O'Leary on keys and Irish bouzouki, Taylor Belote on drums, Tyler Coulston on guitar and Caylee Olson playing bass. Benton sings and plays live on both the electric violin and lead guitar. Her first CD, "Living by the Lake," is all-original, all-instrumental that has “smooth and easy” music. Her second CD, "Give Me Wings," features more indie folk rock and smooth jazz songs that showcase Pamela’s sensual, smoky vocals.

Benton, also a producer, recording engineer, songwriter and multi-talented instrumentalist, calls the Pacific Northwest home. She is classically trained on the violin and piano and has performed throughout the U.S., England and Ireland. When not performing, she is a private music teacher for violin, mandolin, ukulele and guitar.
