Pam Linton has been described as “Hollywood Down Home.” She has the style of a celebrity superstar and the friendly qualities of the girl next door. Growing up in St. Stephen, Minnesota, Pam began her musical journey singing and playing guitar with her sister in church, for local events, and eventually local television. In time they caught the attention of legendary Midwest entertainer Sherwin Linton. With his show, Pam gained recognition from Nashville to Las Vegas. After Pam and Sherwin were married she began managing his career and developing her own musical identity.
Audiences are captivated by the “Big Voice” of this petite lady and her diverse repertoire of Traditional Country, Folk, Gospel, Rockabilly and Rock-N-Roll. Pam was humbled to receive a 2002 induction into the National Traditional Country Music Hall of Fame recognizing her dedication to the preservation of “Music Americana.”
In addition to her vocal talent and music management skills, Pam has a passion for fashion which lead her to opening her own online and brick and mortar ladies’ apparel and accessories boutique, Cotton Patch Boutique. Pam has penned her own cookbook filled with family favorite recipes and those collected from friends through years of touring. She is often requested to present as a celebrity demonstration chef.
