Pamela Hart is regarded as one of Austin, Texas’ finest vocalists. She is noted by Austin Women’s Magazine as “Austin’s First Lady of Jazz.” Pamela is keen on keeping jazz vocal music alive. In 1993, Pamela and Kevin Hart founded the Women in Jazz Association, Inc. whose mission is to keep jazz alive. The organization has been growing ever since providing concerts, vocal workshops, and youth programs geared towards jazz education and performance.
With her performances, the Women in Jazz Association, Inc., vocal performance workshops, and vocal coaching, Pamela is making a difference in the Austin jazz scene. Pamela Hart was inducted in the Austin Jazz Society Hall of Fame in 2018. She was awarded Best Jazz Performer in the 2023 Black Music Awards – Houston.
Pamela’s appreciation for the great masters of jazz is apparent in her intonation, grace and style. She performs locally, regionally, and nationally for Concerts, Festivals, Weddings, Corporate Events, Banquets, and Night Clubs. She has also toured and performed in Europe with the James Polk Texas State Jazz Band. She has repeatedly opened shows for, and shared stages with, many popular artists including Miss Nancy Wilson, Dianne Reeves, Nat Adderley, Jr., Kirk Whalum, Rachelle Ferrell, Norman Brown, Richard Elliot, and more. Her passion for jazz extends to jazz education programs for youth and young female singers.
