Pamela Parker’s Fantastic Machine creates rock n’roll chemistry by blending sultry soulful vocals with powerful rock anthems. If Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix had a love child, it would be Pamela Parker. Pamela’s voice is also described by Program Director of CHLY, Steve Levington, as a combination between Ann Wilson and Axl Rose.  The band has built a sound on their dynamic stage presence and commanding vocals that can drive you, make you dance, or take you on a journey.  Pamela Parker’s Fantastic Machine creates a fresh rock n'roll landscape with a wide range of surprising touchstones like Aretha Franklin, Thin Lizzy, Funkadelic and Heart.  The new songs on the MotherStar album reflect the struggles of life, love, the rock n’roll business, and the pursuit of spiritual happiness. The live band together presents an addictive and monumental force, bringing the sounds of nu-funk, pop & psychedelic rock n’roll music all together into one creating a new sound that will make your heart swell and your fist pump.  

PPFM features JaeStix on Drums, Steven LaBella on Bass, Amber “Funky Fitzy” Fitzgerald on Vocals, Chris Hoog on Sax, Natalie John on Trumpet & Vocals, Simon Rochester on Keys & Vocals, Ben Misterka on Guitar and Pamela Parker on Guitar, Piano & Vocals.

 "Pamela Parker is without question one of the monarchs of the San Francisco rock scene.  She is not only an excellent performer, but she truly embodies the larger-than-life persona she's created for herself.  Her wild style, controlled and deliberate guitar playing and powerful voice speak enough to that point, but she has also played with several incredibly talented players in her time.  It's no wonder nearly every gigging musician in the city has heard of Pamela Parker, so check her out for a classic rock-inspired experience that will leave an impression." - HOODLINE.com

 "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

"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 

"Her gift is God-given and she uses it wisely combining her voice with her natural inner beauty and outer vivaciousness."

- Bernie Worrell

"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 

"...keeps you in the spot between bliss and reality!"
