PAMELA’S BIO
Pamela Cole (she/her) is a co-owner of Fanny's House of Music in Nashville, TN. Cole is a bass player and music industry veteran. Driven by the mission that music stores should be comfortable for everyone, including women and young girls, Cole and co-owner Leigh Maples founded Fanny's in 2009. Since then, Fanny's has become a cornerstone of its East Nashville neighborhood. Never straying too far from the mission, in 2020 Cole and Maples announced the creation of Fanny's School of Music, a nonprofit that will greatly increase Fanny's ability to serve the neighborhood with lessons, workshops, performances, and music therapy.
ELLEN’S BIO
Ellen Angelico (she/her) is a musician and employee at Fanny's House of Music. Known for her professionalism, style, and bright personality, Angelico has been featured on numerous records and played just about everywhere from the Grand Ole Opry to Križanke. When she is not backing up a variety of talented acts (Cam, Uncle Kracker, Delta Rae, and many more) you can find her behind the front counter at Fanny's House of Music. In 2015, Angelico began producing light-hearted YouTube videos for Fanny's in a series called Ellen's Favorite Thing at Fanny's of the Week. Now closing in on its 200th episode, Angelico committed to providing earnest, medium-quality gear reviews for folks who are bored.
