The Band of a Thousand Names
Pamela Jackson
Alabama native Pamela Jackson (voice, guitar, percussion) brings a background in blues, jazz, gospel and traditional country vocal to the band, along with her tremendous songwriting strength (including five co-writes with Davis on Turquoise & Silver). On her own latest album, Red Rock Heart (released in 2014), she tells stories of ordinary people and the un-ordinary lives and challenges they face. She has lived in Nashville since 1998.
Mark MacKenzie
Mark MacKenzie (dobro, guitar, electric steel guitar, banjo, voice), a Nashvillian since 1964, has found an individual voice in almost every musical corner, on a wide range of instruments. Along his work with the Band of 1000 Names, he currently plays western and urban swing with The Miltons, and contemporary bluegrass with Fade 2 Blue.
David Conrad
David Conrad (bass, voice) has had an intensive (and ongoing) musical education over several decades, accompanying a number of great artists including Phoebe Snow, Solomon Burke, Tom Rush, Chuck Berry, Dave Van Ronk, Roy Buchanan, Orphan, Rufus Thomas, Sylvain Sylvain, Jonathan Edwards, Marc Ribot, Black 47, Joy Askew, Hank Thompson, Darlene Love, and Delbert McClinton. He moved to Nashville from New York City in 2017, and currently records and performs his own songs with violinist Rebecca Weiner Tompkins, as Conrad y Skordalia.
