Pam Tillis

Concert Details

The daughter of legendary country hitmaker Mel Tillis, Pam Tillis was determined from a young age to make her own way in the music business as a singer and songwriter. After many false starts and much soul-searching, Tillis came to the attention of Arista Nashville and committed to making an honest country record. The resulting album, Put Yourself in My Place, established Tillis as a performer in her own right, yielded two number one singles (“Don’t Tell Me What to Do” and “Maybe It Was Memphis”), and was certified gold. Three platinum albums on Arista followed: Homeward Looking Angel in 1992, Sweetheart’s Dance in 1994, and a greatest hits compilation in 1997.

Across her career, more than 30 of Tillis’s singles and 10 of her studio albums have charted—including her favorite, 2002’s It’s All Relative: Tillis Sings Tillis, a critically acclaimed tribute to her father. Tillis has also been nominated for nine Academy of Country Music Awards, multiple Grammys, and an American Music Award.
