Rockin' Memories - Pam Barker & Bruce Rudolph

Our audiences expect and GET a very informative and entertaining show! Our arrangements are very horn-driven and "Vegassy". Powerful and dynamic music and vocal performances. We call our music "Oh Yeah!" music. We succeed in bringing back great memories for our audiences who are old enough to remember all of these songs -- and we appeal greatly to the younger audiences as well because they hear REAL musicianship and REAL clean, clear powerful vocal work. I (Bruce) arrange and perform all of our music myself and I do so to fit Pam's vocal style and sound (Melody lines and phrasing, etc.). They just don't don't do it that way anymore and THAT's why we are constantly hearing from the younger audience members.

Pam Barker
The “Quintessential Entertainer” is the simplest, yet most complete way to describe this dynamic powerhouse known as Pam Barker. She’s an extremely versatile vocalist who knows how to capture her audiences’ attention, and never fails to give them a performance that leaves them hungry for more! This native Arizonan has a vast array of abilities that go even beyond her fantastic live shows. Pam is also an award-winning Patsy Cline impersonator, as well as a published recording artist, songwriter, veteran of video productions, and has been recognized for her contributions to Country and 50s & 60s music. To add even more to Pam‘s impressive list of accomplishments -- she received Arizona’s “Entertainer Of The Year” award, and won the title of “Country’s Hottest Hitter” for her Patsy Cline impersonation at the Reel Awards in Hollywood. The most appropriate way to sum it all up? A Pam Barker performance is an experience you will be very glad you had!
