Pam Nelson (Artibey) has been a professional musician and vocalist since forming her band, Sedona Crossing with bass player & audio engineer, Tom O'Shea in 1989. Sedona Crossing became one of the most sought after bands in the 1990's performing at some of the most prestigious resorts in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. Rawhide, in Scottsdale, was a staple for the band in the 90's. Starting out primarily as a 90's country band, Sedona Crossing became a popular variety band. The band has performed for the Phoenix Coyotes, Super Bowl Committee, Fiesta Bowl pre-games, NASCAR along with a number of high profile events. Sedona Crossing opened for Gary Allen and also for Exile.
Pam performs a wide range of music which has made her a very popular performer throughout the Phoenix and Tucson areas. Along with playing rhythm guitar, Pam also plays flute, keyboards and harmonica.
Tom is a lifelong musician with a BA in Music Performance from New York State University. He was a full-time bass player with the New York based band, “Out of the Blue,” and later performed as a full-time bass player for the Arizona based touring act, “Corte,” in the 1980s. In 1990, Tom and Pam Nelson launched the Arizona based band, “Sedona Crossing,” where Tom served as the full-time bass player and audio engineer, contributing to the vibrant live music scene. Additionally, he worked as an A1 audio engineer at Tarrytown Music Hall in Westchester, New York. Tom also started his own business, “Blue Skye Sound Company,” in New York, collaborating with artists such as Cyndi Lauper, Gordon Lightfoot, Kris Kristofferson, Smokey Robinson, and many others. In 2020, Tom and his wife, Liza, relocated to Oro Valley, AZ, where he continues to enjoy live music.
Peter Storn began his professional journey in Los Angeles, where he played in various club bands and participated in studio sessions with artists like Irene Cara, George Johnson (from Brothers Johnson), and David Williams (from Michael Jackson). After spending six years on the road with a Rock/Dance/Variety band, he moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he collaborated with several groups across diverse styles. His work included Pop/Rock/Alternative with '1933,' Funk/R&B with Jamtrak, Contemporary Jazz/Smooth Jazz with Cliff Sarde, Jazz with Dennis Rowland, and Country with 'House of Steel,' featuring steel guitar player Mike G. Smith (known for his work with the Gatlin Brothers, Judds, and Jerry Reed). Notably, he was also part of one of Pam Nelson's earlier Country/Classic Rock bands, Sedona Crossing.
Under his own name, the Peter Storn Project, he focused on Jazz and Contemporary Jazz, releasing two CDs, with a notable highlight being a 10-day tour of Mexico.
Peter contributed to two of Cliff Sarde’s albums, offering original compositions for each, one featuring pianist Russell Ferrante from the Yellowjackets. A collaboration with Cliff Sarde also earned them a Rocky Mountain Emmy Award for film music for the PBS special 'Visions of Arizona.'
Additionally, a writing and recording side project with Thaddeus Rose yielded several songs that found placements in popular TV shows such as 'The Mentalist' on CBS and on MTV.
In recent years, Peter has performed and toured with several Tribute Shows, playing live music that celebrates the works of Brooks & Dunn, Garth Brooks, the British Invasion, and The Beatles.
Marty Novak is a talented singer/songwriter/musician who has been making waves in the live music scene since the early 80s. She began her journey as the minister of music for a non-denominational church in West Palm Beach, FL, where she played keyboards and led congregational worship. As she honed her craft, Marty started to write and perform her own songs, becoming a featured artist at several songwriter showcases. One of her notable works includes the song "You are the Key," which she wrote for the United Way and was played at all their Minneapolis fundraising events throughout the year. Additionally, she provided her vocal talents as a backing or lead vocalist for numerous local Minneapolis recording artists, assisting them in recording their demos. In the late 90s, she joined a corporate variety band, performing at events for publicly held companies across the Twin Cities. In 2000, Marty relocated to Colorado, where she dedicated most of her time to her career as a professional graphic designer.
In 2020, Marty made the move to Oro Valley, AZ, and in 2023, she joined Sedona Crossing as a singer, guitar, and keyboard player. Interestingly, Marty Novak and Pam Artibey, a fellow member of the Pam Nelson band, grew up less than 2 miles apart in a small St. Paul, MN neighborhood, yet they only discovered this connection during a conversation at a band rehearsal.
As a Pacific Northwest transplant who grew up in the Midwest and moved abroad, spending time in Europe, Central America, and the South Pacific before retiring to Oracle, AZ in 2022, Adrian finds invigorating enjoyment in making delightful rhythmic sounds while banging on things. His passion for live music shines through as he often performs with the Pam Nelson band.
Adrian prefers to assault percussion instruments in a style influenced by John Philip Sousa, Neil Peart, and later by Lars Ulrich, evolving a unique sound that blends rock, country, jazz, and punk with a hint of polka.
Playing gigs in the 70s and 80s, he started with what we now refer to as classic rock (back then it was simply called rock!). Over time, he ventured into heavy metal, eventually returning to the other end of the musical spectrum as a percussionist in a classical orchestra, including memorable shows at Sedona Crossing.
Outside of music, Adrian enjoys a wide variety of extracurricular activities, from softball to software programming to scuba diving (should the opportunity arise). He also appreciates a perfectly cooked steak, has an extraordinary addiction to candy, and enjoys short walks on the beach.
Robert Feeney joined Sedona Crossing in January 2025. His lead guitar playing and vocals add a unique flair to the band, which is celebrated for its vibrant live music performances. Having played professionally in the Tucson area for years, Robert's smooth playing style and vocal talents make him a valuable member of Sedona Crossing, often drawing comparisons to the Pam Nelson band.
