The band's raw energy and expressive vocals bring to mind Amy Winehouse and Ann Wilson. The dynamic show draws you close, then surges forward with anthemic power to lift you higher. Pamela shreds like a cross between Susan Tedeschi and Bonnie Raitt, guiding us with danceable hooks. The upcoming album creates a fresh rock n'roll landscape with a diversity of touchstones you wouldn't expect to experience like Adele, Alabama Shakes, Thin Lizzy, and Funkadelic.
PAMELA PARKER and her band create rock n'roll chemistry with every moment of their concert. Pamela is a vocalist, guitarist, pianist, songwriter & producer. Her voice is described by Program Director of CHLY, Steve Levington, as a combination between Ann Wilson and Axl Rose. Her songs reflect the struggles of life, love, the rock n'roll business, and the pursuit of spiritual happiness. Tom Finch, the band's wizard, duels with Pamela on guitar and vocals. He is also a member of Big Brother & The Holding Company. Chris McGrew brings the propulsive drums, and is a former member of Griddle. The funky bass player is Spence Murray former member of Kofy Brown and our keys/organ player Ryan Hickey, has worked with legends like Sammy Hagar and Jason Bonham. The band together presents an addictive and monumental force of rock n'roll music that will make your heart swell and your fist pump.
Pamela Parker has shared the bill with acts such as Heart, Big Brother & The Holding Company (Janis Joplin's band), Angelo Moore of Fishbone, Michael Franti, George Clinton & P-Funk, Jackie Greene, Rusted Root, & Dark Star Orchestra. She's been featured at many festivals including High Sierra Music Festival, Guitarfish Festival, Harmony Festival, JamCruise 2, and the band has headlined festivals like Haight-Ashbury Street Fair, Earth Day SF, Peace Day SF, Bay Vibes Summerfest, ULUV, Gratefulfest, Rhythmfest.

"Pamela Parker’s vocal duet with the legendary lead guitar part in 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' , is a testament to her creativity and sheer vocal power."
- Dave Shaw, LA Beat (Apr 12, 2013)
"This was a really great show. Lot's of high energy music and Pamela has a very unique voice. If you get a chance to see her, I suggest you do so!"
- Billy Sunrise Radio (Apr 20, 2013)
"When I first heard Pamela Parker's 'Is It Real?' I knew I had to have Evolutionary Process. Pamela Parker sounds like the love child of Ann Wilson and Axl Rose all the while looking like the daughter of Slash. Eric McFadden plays the guitar like he's being possessed by Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana at the same time. There's only one real word to describe this band and this album....Smooth. This is the kind of music you want to roll over, light a cigarette and ask was it good for you, too? There is no such thing as a bad song on this album, it's the kind you can put in your car and go on a road trip on, drive with the top down and looking damn cool doing it. I'm a music director of a radio station and I feel that Pamela Parker's Evolutionary Process is my greatest discovery this year and if you're smart it'll be yours 2 "
- DJ Evil Steve, CHLY 101.7FM (Apr 24, 2013)

- Michael Franti
"The show and vibe surpassed my wildest expectations...I left with the feeling that this was one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life...and I was at concerts with John Lennon, Richie Havens, at Woodstock, Power to the Peaceful with Michael Franti and many others..."
