Pamela Parker Pamela Parker's Fantastic Machine rock like a combination of Alabama Shakes, P-Funk, PINK & Heart. Funk Soul Rock Music. area.

Pamela Parker studied opera and commercial music production at Shenandoah Conservatory before establishing herself as a solo performer in the Washington, D.C. With her own band, she toured in the US and Internationally, gaining notoriety and experience. Fulfilling a dream held since the age of 10, she finally moved to San Francisco in 2007, where she co-produced and released her debut record, Beautiful Day. Working the Bay Area club and festival scene, she quickly had her pick of top players and put together an all-star line-up of musicians and producers. The band opened for legendary acts such as Heart and Big Brother & The Holding Co., and headlined festivals such as Haight-Ashbury Street Fair, Earth Day SF and Bay Vibes Summer Fest. They also completed a third studio album, The Fantastic Machine, with Pamela at the historic SF recording studio, Hyde Street Studios. The band's infectious blend of funk, rock and soul touched a nerve in Vancouver, British Columbia on the radio station CHLY 101.7FM, where the album debuted at #1, and was up for Album of the Year in 2013. Pamela's still working at HSS finishing her fourth full band studio album, this time co-producing with rock music producer, Jaimeson Durr (Sammy Hagar - #1 Rock Album, Joe Satriani, Jason Bonham, Don Felder, etc). We are working on the next album, MotherStar, due out in early 2023. Smoothing out their blend of elements, the band has developed a sound of their own that truly showcases each member's dynamic range. A couple years back the band produced a score for a multi-award-winning short film, Love Hurts, and continues to compose custom music for commercial clients such as Discovery Channel, Verizon, Independent Commercials, Etc. This was the first year that Pamela Parker produced her very own music festival, Sunshine of Love, down in Santa Cruz at the beautiful Paradise Gardens private location. The big and full band delivered 3 nights of an electrifying and emotional live show with irresistible dance grooves, dueling guitar leads and soulful ballads that hit home. With guitar in hand, Pamela's voice cuts right to the heart of the matter sharing music at every turn! Keep your ears to the ground for the new "MotherStar" album to start being released single by single...until then, 💜🌞💜 you can keep up with us at any of the below links:

The Fantastic Machine and I had a blast at Salmonfest this year and I just had to share some of the photos I got while we were there! We played twice at and once in ( Downtown Partnership, Ltd. ) Next time we will stay longer and play more gigs! It was hard to leave this beautiful and so welcoming place...looking forward to our return to Salmonfest and Alaska!!!

Until then, enjoy some photos from our travels. Always wish I would have gotten more photos (If you've got some share them with us). ...and...If we met in Alaska, write a comment below and let's stay connected. We will definitely be back! Let us know any other spots you'd like to see us play when we return to Alaska next.

Thank you again to Jack and the Salmonfest crew! It was such a great experience as an artist to play this festival with such great audiences. We even sold out of all of our glasses with colored lenses...next time we'll bring more 🙂

I've been having a blast on the East Coast rehearsing with the band for our upcoming shows at Nelson Ledges Quarry Park in Ohio. Help me pick out What 2 Wear for this show by telling me your answer below.

I used to play at NLQP a lot with my previous band Roots A'Risin'...wanna say starting in 2003 or 2004...maybe earlier. Now I get to go back to one of my favorite festival grounds with The Fantastic Machine!!! NLQP has the ultimate water source with music...I mean what more do you need?!?!?! Plus they've got cliff jumping, one of my favorite past times as a diver. I'm so excited to go back and bring the band to play some music for everyone this upcoming weekend!!!

High Sierra, what a weekend. ⚡️

So grateful to have been part of another unforgettable year at , sharing the stage with incredible musicians and an amazing crowd.

Had a blast performing alongside guitarists Ben Misterka, Sean Leahy, Josh Clark, Ben Andrews, and closing things out with an all-star turnout for the legendary Guitarmageddon jam. Moments like these are a reminder of why live music is so special. Great songs, fearless improvisation, and a community that shows up ready to celebrate it all.

Thanks to everyone who came out, sang along, danced, and made it one to remember. Until next time. 🎸❤️
