Pamela Machala

“Pamela Machala artfully turns a phrase and yet still manages to make us dance...[her] piano-rich gems are in the storyteller vein of Ben Folds and Sara Bareilles, yet they are distinctly hers.” - Colorado Daily

Colorado-based singer, songwriter, and pianist Pamela Machala (“MOCK-uh-luh”) is known for her finely crafted pop-folk songs. With influences ranging from jazz and soul to musical theater, Pamela’s songwriting combines boldly vulnerable lyrics, clever turns of phrase, feelgood funky grooves, and a distinctive blend of melancholy, hope, and goofiness.

Pamela’s songs have received the Grand Prize in the SongDoor International Songwriting Competition, as well as an Honorable Mention in the 2024 Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Songwriter Contest. Pamela has performed at venues ranging from The Bitter End in NYC to The Hotel Utah in San Francisco, and has opened for artists including Lisa Loeb and Danielle Ate The Sandwich.
