PAM TILLIS IN CONCERT:
Grammy-winning country singer-songwriter Pam Tillis is Nashville born and bred, and her heritage is on full display at her live shows. Tillis boasts an impressive pedigree – her father is famed country singer Mel Tillis, and her boot-stomping performances, exuding plenty of downhome pride and tradition, are the next best thing to a trip to Music City. Taking the stage with an acoustic guitar, Tillis wrings every last drop of emotion from finely crafted cuts like "Maybe It Was Memphis" and "Shake the Sugar Tree." Meanwhile her band whips up a high-energy mix of slide guitar, violin, bass, and drums that perfectly complements her relaxed vocals and unhurried delivery. It's a no-frills country party any time Pam Tillis performs, and ticket buyers are never disappointed by her arresting voice and feel-good stage presence.?
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Growing up the daughter of a country star, Pam Tillis was immersed in the Nashville music scene from the get-go. She made her singing debut at the Grand Ole Opry at age 8, and by her teens she was writing songs and playing the piano and guitar. She cut her teeth in the early '70s penning tunes for artists like Gloria Gaynor and Chaka Khan, and in 1981 she signed to Warner Bros. Records. Her 1983 debut album didn't make much of an impact, but she found chart success mid-decade with a string of non-album singles including "Those Memories of You" and "There Goes My Love." She signed to Arista Nashville in 1989, kicking off a successful period that included the Top 10 albums Put Yourself in My Place (1991) and Sweetheart's Dance (1994), the latter of which contained her first No. 1 single "Mi Vida Loca (My Crazy Life)." Since then she's remained prolific, touring extensively and impressing fans with albums like 2013's Dos Divas, a celebrated collection of duets recorded with Lorrie Morgan.
Pam was awesome and made the best out of abaf situation. Her voice is awesome. However the venue was awful.. They moved her to a smaller area. The reserved seats in the balcony did not exist. Ticket holders were not given notice of the move or the fact that the balcony was unassigned seating. Will never go back to the Temple for another concert or event again.
Great venue! Pam and her trio were super fantastic,awesome and fabulous to say the least!!! Great entertainer!!! Her voice was spectacular!!!
She’s great and her musicians are well picked! She gives her best. She’s sweet funny and talented. She has musicians who harmonize wonderfully. They are talented in their own right. Pam Tillis showcases them and help upcoming artists. Well done Pam Tillis and company!
Friendly staff. Enjoyed small facility. Easy in and out.
Pam put on a fantastic show. If you weren’t there missed out on something good.
She is as entertaining as ever and the venue was fabulous!
As someone who listens to all music genres, old and new, this was one of the best events I have ever attended. Simple. No frills. Intimate. Most enjoyable!
I was very happy with her performance, first time seeing her! The chairs at the event were very uncomfortable but she was amazing and hilarious!
Pam Tillis’ performance was simply stellar. Her vocals and stage presence was exceptional, performing her hits and a stirring medley tribute to her late father. Her band members incomparably harmonized with her vocals and showmanship making for a highly enjoyable and memorable evening.
We did not care for her opening band, Little Texas. But she and her band were great! She worked hard and was entertaining. Her father (Mel Tillis) would be proud of her.
