Michael Peres with Pamela Hopkins—touring singer-songwriter, dueling pianist, and multi-business entrepreneur based in Arkansas who performs across the globe. Classically trained on cello and later a self-taught pianist, Pamela blends an ’80s/’90s country-rock influence with a powerhouse vocal style while gigging from cruise ships to military bases—and running brick-and-mortar ventures back home.
We dive deep into:
• Pamela’s path: cello and choir → Nashville sessions → three albums and full-time touring
• Why dueling pianos became her high-energy “day job” (and how she taught herself)
• Country-rock influences and covering everyone from Alicia Keys to Reba
• Performing worldwide: cruises, military shows, and international venues
• Building multiple businesses alongside a global music career
