Brooklyn based singer-songwriter Pamela Laws releases the rootsy Holes In My Shoes. Fans of rock, folk, pop, and country will enjoy it, and the song could find a home on Spotify’s Country Mix Playlist.

Laws says, “When I wrote Holes in My Shoes I got to step in the “shoes” of a man looking back at his life. Accepting the moments he failed to follow his instincts and the reconciling of the consequences of the conflicting yearnings… Fate, Luck and Love are all at play n the roulette wheel of his life. When you deny your instincts it’s rare that these things line up to help your dreams come true. There’s a release of regret and a flying that occurs when he finally gets to a place of acceptance!! A guy reconciling the ups and downs of his humanity!! And he’s finally free!”

Pamela Laws teamed up with long-time collaborator, Jack Petruzzelli (Patti Smith, Rufus Wainwright, Joan Osborne), Levon Helm recording engineer, Justin Guip and co-writer Adam Bernstein. Pamela has crafted a trove of new songs that transcend her rock, pop, and country influences. With the infusion of Pamela’s Texan and Californian Americana roots, Petruzzelli’s dynamic orchestral guitar work, and guest appearances by musicians like Larry Campbell and Cindy Cashdollar (known for their work with Bob Dylan), these songs could work in a club and on road trips.

Before signing with Warner Brothers and Warner Chappell, Pamela sang background vocals for Counting Crows. After 2 major label releases, Pamela had a role in a WB film called Mad City, played a folk singer and sang the theme song written by Lou Reed called “Is Anybody Listening?”

She says, “I hold this song close to my heart as it talks about my personal struggles with mental health. I love this song so much and am so grateful for Arther Blue for writing and producing it with me!”
