Pam Martin Band

I started playing professionally in Winnipeg bars at the age of 15 with an  all female touring show at the Assinaboine Gordon Hotel.

I quickly formed my own rock and pop bands and played the Winnipeg club scene during my teens and early 20’s.  I worked in all the A rooms travelling across the prairies and into Alberta and B.C.

Eventually I was working with the cream of the Winnipeg musicians doing recording with Kenny Shields and Chris Burke Gaffaey that ultimately led to a year long stint in a band with Burke

I did a lot of those club bands  - Rumors with Kim Hines and Barry G Player. Being one that was truly progressive in our music choices from Kate Bush to Kansas and it was awesome to see live with the performance  Art we did.

I also did a house band with Spider and Lou Petrovich.  We always had the best soundmen and crew and I did some great writing with these exceptional people  Then I joined a working band with Chris B. and we worked and wrote and travelled to B.C.

We wrote a lot of songs and the beginning of the Dead Beat Honeymooners began while we toured out in B. C. but I left the band because the work and beauty of B. C. was calling me.

I also did have some good fortune with a little band called the Pamela Martin Band. We/I did some television and did a big televised Canada Day Show with players like Randy Heibert, Wallie
Larson, Craig Fatheringham and played a big corporate Show for Moffat Communications and went over big opening some doors.  I won the Bud Country Talent Show and played Massey Hall in Toronto.  There was some shady business problems and I had a song stolen out from under me that made someone else a career.  It was another Canadian girl whose people had just come to see us and turned around and well the rest is history.
