Pamela McNeill knew from an early age that music would be her life. She joined her first rock band at 16 and learned quickly how to connect with her audience. A native of Winona, Minnesota, Pamela now resides in the Twin Cities. Her career has taken her all over the world, including four years in the UK as a backing singer for Rick Astley, performing with him at Royal Albert Hall and The London Palladium for the Royal Family and appearing on many television shows such as BBC’s ‘Top of the Pops”. As a prolific songwriter, she wrote her first song at 15 and has written for and with a wide range of other artists including Wynonna Judd, Jim Peterik (“Eye of the Tiger”) and Instrumental icon Yanni, cowriting his first lyric song “Love is All” from the double platinum selling album ‘Tribute”.
She has also co-written tracks with fellow songwriters Pam Tillis and Bobby E. Boyd (“Bless the Broken Road”). Pamela began releasing albums in 1999 and with the release of “Wave After Wave” has released eight studio albums. She has performed “in the round” at the legendary Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, TN twice and has headlined theaters and festivals across the country in support of her music, opening for artists including Etta James, Little River Band, Atlanta Rhythm Section, and BTO, to name a few. Her new EP “Wave After Wave,” was released in 2024 on Farm to Label Records on color vinyl and digitally.
In 2024, she was honored to be inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame joining the likes of Prince, Bob Dylan, Judy Garland, Soul Asylum, and The Replacements to name a few.
“Country-rock siren Pamela McNeill cooks like grease on the griddle.”

Jennifer Grimm Sings Judy Garland
2025-05-18 19:30 - 21:00 | StageNorth, 123 W Omaha Street, Washburn, WI, 54891

Listen Here
Jennifer Grimm Sings Judy Garland is an energetic, uplifting concert celebrating Judy Garland’s music and showmanship with such joyful integrity that the Judy Garland Museum™️ selected Grimm and her show to perform at the 100th Birthday Celebration of Judy Garland.
Join Jennifer and her 11-piece band as she sweetly sails through Garland classics such as “You Made Me Love You,” “Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart” and, of course, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”
Both Grimm and Garland were born in Minnesota to vaudeville families, bringing command and charisma to the stage as only lifelong entertainers can.
Although they were born over a half a century apart, the sentimental sounds of the Judy Garland era seem to be a perfect fit for Grimm’s well-known versatility and ability to bring powerful vocals to the showstopping numbers as well as an intimate tenderness to Garland’s ballads that will leave a lump in your throat.
“This is way beyond the rainbow with a stellar cast of area musicians. If all you know about Judy is the Wizard of Oz, you need to see this show.”
