Pamela chose her music path after having an “epiphany that music was her calling” moment after a roadtrip with friends that took her from Oklahoma to California. “I had one of those mo- ments in time that I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I tried to study art — painting, sculpting and metal work type art, but my dad wasn’t too sure of what to make of that. So he encouraged me to take one semester off from school so I could go try and find myself, and encouraged me to do what I really, really Bob Connolly schedules shows Bob Connolly Singer-songwriter Bob Connolly is back in the Gorge this month with two solo shows: Saturday, May 9, at Volcanic Bottle Shoppe (music starts at 7 p.m.) and Satur- day, May 16, at the Lyle Hotel (music starts at 6 p.m.) Expect originals and country, rock and pop cov ers.

Since she couldn’t take her childhood drumset or piano to college, she opted for an old classical guitar her mom gave her, and eventually taught herself to play. Now, with at least five al- bums behind her, Pamela stays busy at the studio, with the benefit of getting to pro- duce her own music as well. “Our plan is to release one single a month for the next 6 months, and then drop an album, because that’s what everyone seems to be doing now,” Parker said. I expect Pamela’s solo CD, and everything else she’s in- volved in, will reflect 100 per- cent of what she wants you to hear. I got the feeling she’s not about to let anyone stand in her way. “In tenth grade, I decided to quit violin because my teacher was really mean.
