Meet the band and see where we hang out.
Pam Blanchard is the songwriter, lead singer, and
rhythm guitar player for the band. She has won two
honorable mentions in the international John Lennon
Songwriting contest, and has been awarded two
Puffin Foundation grants for her work with and for
chidren. The songs she writes are from a young child's
perspective, and along with that comes the desire to
move and interact. As you can tell by those who have
written in support of the band, she is also an educator
who has an amazing ability to engage a large group of
children while maintaining order.
The band is comprised of 5 other talented musicians: Danny Conkle, Joe Ellison, Kemp Jones, Melinda Kershner and Michael Wegner, who turn each song into a musical playground. They have produced 2 albums of music, and bring with them the ability to play in any style: jazz, bluegrass, rock, funk, reggae, blues . . . They also bring the sounds of over 13 instruments to young ears: drums, conga, percussion, keyboard, bass, acoustic and electric guitars, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, saxophome, flute and clarinet. To top it off, they add
3-part harmony. Last year, they produced an original play which featured their music, 70 local school children, and was performed for 3 sold-out school shows at the Oconee County Civic Center.
