New Music Video for Truth Be Told

We're getting ready to launch the final music video Truth Be Told, which you can preview here! It's got it's own web page on MT Silvia's Atomic Mom website with all the pertinent info. I think MT did a beautiful job on the video, she also wrote the lyrics to the song. Pam and I are honored to have worked on the song with such a brilliant cast of people including Leslie Ann Jones, head engineer at Skywalker Sound, and June Kuramoto from the band Hiroshima!

Help yourself to a free download of the song for your mp3 player! The link is just under the video on the Truth Be Told page.

Photos From The Show

Our friend Merici Trujillo did some beautiful shots of the Yoshi's gig on May 19th. You can really get a sense of the fun we had that night - everyone sounded amazing. We had some terrific guest musicians, Rob Strom, Julie Wolf and Shelley Doty. We'll post some video soon in case you missed the show or just want to go back there with me... Enjoy!

Yoshi's (Oakland) May 19th - a rare local appearance!

The Pam and Jeri Show will be back at Yoshi's Oakland on Wednesday, May 19th. Tickets are $18, click here to make your reservation!

We are honored to have the opportunity to perform at the fabulous Yoshi's again! The Oakland Yoshi's is one of the best listening rooms in the entire Bay Area - it has a pristine sound system and (more importantly?) fabulous food, and not a bad seat in the house. Yoshi's is famous for presenting top tier music consistently and we are thrilled to be a part of their lineup.

I'll look forward to an evening of our very best music and performance, lots of laughs, yummy food, comfort and good friends! Hope you will be there too. Advance tickets here.

Truth Be Told

(photo by Merici Photography)
I love my job. I find myself working on amazing projects with extraordinary people, and I feel like the luckiest gal in the world. One recent project is the writing, producing and recording of a song called Truth Be Told, which was to be included in the soundtrack of the upcoming documentary film Atomic Mom. MT Silvia wrote the lyrics to the song and asked Pam and me to write the music. MT made a wonderful music video of the song, which is a sort of trailer for the movie. Watch and listen to Truth Be Told on You Tube.

The recording features some wonderful musicians. Our manager Suzanne Koga connected us to June Kuramoto of the Grammy nominated band Hiroshima, who she also manages. June's Koto playing brings the juxtaposition of Japanese and American cultures into this cut, which is exactly the feeling we wanted. We're so lucky to have worked with Paul Olguin on bass, Julie Wolf on Hammond C-3, Michaelle Goerlitz on drums, and Klaudia Promessi on native flutes. Klaudia did the soundtrack for the full length documentary as well. Pam's vocal really brings it home for me. The recording was done at Skywalker Sound, engineered and mixed by Leslie Ann Jones with Dann Thompson. The song was co-produced by Leslie Ann Jones and me (lucky me).

About the film: Atomic Mom reveals the intimate story about one of the few female scientists working on the testing of the atom bomb in the early 1950's. After decades of silence - and a crisis of conscious prompted by the probing of her filmmaker daughter, she shares her story and is offered an olive branch by a survivor of the Hiroshima bombing.

Gibson Guitars and Working In The Studio

Pam and I are hard at work on a new album with our band, Blame Sally. This is no exception to the long studio process, but it's great to focus creative energy on a specific project. I'm working with tons of new gear, not the least of which is a beautiful Gibson Reverse V guitar which was given to me by Gibson Guitars at the Grammy gifting suite. Thank you Gibson, and yes, I am the luckiest gal I know! And huge thanks to our manager Suzanne Koga, who told Gibson about me and pointed out that a guitar given to me would get some good use. That is the case as you'll hear first hand when the album comes out later this year.

And we're super excited about the record. Check out Blame Sally for local gigs, video and all kinds of fun stuff. Soon we'll have some previews for you, everything from rockin' tunes to gorgeous atmospheric ballads. We think we're including a song by our friend Jane Selkye of Me Jane. And look for a re-release of The Pam and Jeri Show's old album "Blue Water Triplets". It will be available at our show at Yoshi's Oakland on May 19th!!
