Pam Reyes

Pam Reyes is an independent singer-songwriter based in Austin, Texas by way of Queens, New York.  Pam writes songs to make sense of the world around her and to understand her many identities. As a first-generation immigrant, recently naturalized American citizen, queer woman—and more simply, as a human with feelings—Pam explores themes of love, loss, and politics.  Her performances are an exercise in collective vulnerability. Her frank, bordering on dark, songwriting meets her stirring voice in a coupling that oscillates between dissonance and consonance. In Reyes’ latest album, Temporary, she reflects on experiences of transience and diaspora throughout her life and what it means to arrive in (and depart from) a place.
