Pam Weeks (fiddle, Appalachian dulcimer, vocals) Pam came to Scrod Pudding after many years as a solo performer. A widely recognized singer and performer on the Appalachian dulcimer, Pam spent several years performing in coffeehouses and as a street musician in Boston before moving to Maine in 1985. Pam's voice and musicianship have been central to developing Scrod Pudding's musical style. Pam has three recordings in addition to Scrod Pudding's CD Food for your Feet. Her fiddle recording, Waiting for the Perseids, features members of Scrod Pudding and was used as background music for a historical documentary of No. Whitefield, Maine, that was shown on PBS. Pam performs throughout the Northeast solo and in ensembles (including "Ti'Acadie" and Jimmyjo and the Jumbol'ayuhs), and teaches strings, wind, piano, and voice at her home in Bowdoin, Maine. A sampling of Pam's original contradance tunes can be found on Pam's website. |
