PRESS
"Congratulations on a terrific event and show. You are all fabulous and Pamela is a force of nature - truly charismatic. She's got that "it" that all entertainers so elusively pursue, but can only be born with. "

"The Blackberry Blues Band at The Lycian Center for The Arts -- A last minute decision to go to a free outdoor concert... naturally becomes an opportunity to shoot a very good band with an unstoppable, energetic lead vocalist. Photography + music + food + a nice drink = FUN"
- Peter Salo, Photographer, Facebook (Jul 16, 2010)
"The Blackberry Blues Band collection of songs...hit straight to your soul. Every note is spot-on the instrumental sections will leave you lost in the music ... a mix of Blondie and The Talking Heads ...with the powerfully soulful blues of the Allman Brothers ... will take your breath away. "
- J B Swift, Swift Reviews (Dec 01, 2009)
"George, I just wanted to reiterate.....I know I told you this already...But I am surprised at every listen... The BBB disc is IMO outstanding! I have worn it out listening to different members go through their paces. Your keyboard has a living fluidity that is not predictable and offers surprise at every change. The dynamics of the band as each member steps up and back is wonderful. The BBB has the motion of the ocean and the tightness of a drum. One would be remiss to give this album only a casual listen as the beauty of the band is EVERYTHING that is going on with each member speaking in a voice of his and her own. There is a lot going on here! Pamela's soul dripping vocals are without comparison as you can only be awed in the passion she has for her craft. I listen to a lot of the "young guns" to keep up with things but the believability, expertise, and sense of timing and passion is still owned by bands like yours. Great job!!! Hope to sit in for a couple one day! "
- Mike Wilber, Facebook (Jun 24, 2010)
"This Band is Truly Amazing!! The Blackberry Blues experience always leaves me in awe. Not only are they a great band, they're a great group of people...if you haven't seen them, you're definitely missing out. "
