Quiet Sky is a new music project featuring Ottawa's Jeff and Pam Gleeson. Quiet Sky brings Pam’s unique indie folk songwriting style to the stage with Jeff’s natural vocals and creative guitar tones, to invoke a feeling that lingers in that wide open space where anything is possible. The mood is accessible and the lyrics are relatable. Quiet Sky aims to follow the trails laid out through the poetry of Joni Mitchell, the raw honesty of Lucinda Williams, the natural comfort of Sarah Harmer, and the grit of Neil Young.
A Quiet Sky is what we're all searching for. A clear path to the universe without all of the noise and interference. The songs Pam & Jeff create are meant to go straight to your heart - so that we can connect and feel something beautiful.
Music is the tool. Creation is the method. Love is the objective.
Look up, and breathe with us.
These two have been playing music together for over 20 years! Music is deeply rooted in their everyday lives, where they are partners and parents to two amazing teenagers. Pam & Jeff are well connected in the local Ottawa music community and have a genuine desire to create space and opportunity for musicians of all kinds to play and create together. They enjoy hosting friends and collaborators in their new home-based recording space.
Jeff has played with several Ottawa-area bands and projects including The Ethics, Cherie, Good Advice, Naviger and Jacob Two-Two.
Pam started a new music tradition in 2025 by supporting and facilitating the creation of an old-time Appalachian music festival in the Pontiac region of West Quebec called Ladysmith Oldtime Gathering.
New music coming soon!
We'd love to see you at one of our upcoming shows.
Quiet Sky will be the feature performers at Greg Kelly's Tunes After Noon, hosted by Peter Rutherford. We will play from 1-2pm, followed by an open mic. It's a pass the hat event. Come and join us for a casual relaxed afternoon of snacks, drinks, and music.
Quiet Sky has been invited to play at our friend Natasha's house concert series called 'Live dans mon Salon'. This will be a cozy Sunday evening concert featuring Quiet Sky, as well as a solo set by the amazing Octoberman! We love his music so it will be a treat for us to see him in such ann intimate setting. A bit about Octoberman:
"Over seven albums and two EPs, Octoberman has carved out a space that's earned comparisons to a 'sunnier Elliott Smith or Sparklehorse' (Uncut) and 'Stephen Malkmus at his loosest" (Pitchfork). Their music has landed on shows like Grey's Anatomy and shared stages with the likes of Julie Doiron, Mount Eerie, and Owen Pallett. After stints in Toronto and Vancouver, frontman and songwriter Marc Morrissette now calls Ottawa home." https://octoberman.ca/
Pam played her first show in Natasha's cozy living room just 2 years ago, and Natasha later took the sweet photos of the two of us that we are using on our website, so she's been a big part of the Quiet Sky journey. We're so excited to be back dans le salon as a duo now and we hope you'll be able to join us. Seating is limited so send us a message ASAP if you're interested in reserving a spot. Suggested donation is $15-20 at the door.
