THE PAKE McENTIRE SHOW

PRESS RELEASE

When Pake was just big enough to drag a rope around, he began singing while traveling in the car to rodeos with his dad, Clark. To keep Pake and his sisters, Alice, Reba, and Susie, from fussing and fighting while traveling the rodeo circuit, their mother, Jac, taught them to sing three and four part harmony in the back seat of their car. Singing, just like roping, came natural to Pake.



Pake, Reba, and Susie became “The Singing McEntires” in the 1970’s with their first living room hit single “The Ballad of John McEntire” – a song about their Grandpap.



Pake is a former RCA recording artist who has toured the United States and parts of Canada since the early 1980’s, landing three top twenty hits on the Billboard’s Country Charts. Pake has performed with entertainers such as Garth Brooks, George Strait, Reba McEntire, Vince Gill, The Judds, Alabama, Ronnie Milsap and many more. He has made numerous television appearances on Hee Haw, Nashville Now and A&E Biography.



Pake currently performs throughout the Midwest at rodeos, fairs, dances, stage shows, and festivals of all kinds. Pake has a great easy listening and enjoyable country music show which features his talented singing and fiddle playing. His show has a wide variety of country music all the way from Bob Wills to current singers such as Rascal Flats. Pake’s throwing in a few stories about his sisters, Reba McEntire and Susie McEntire Luchsinger, always excites the crowd.

When Pake was just big enough to drag a rope around and quit wettin his britches, he began singing in the car going down the road rodeoing with his dad, Clark, and other cowboys, such as Hugh Posey. Singing like roping, just came naturally, and since he was grandson to John McEntire of whom he inherited some traits, Pake certainly wasn't bashful and loved the attention.

A little later in life while traveling in the back seat of the car going to rodeos , their mama, Jac, would teach all four of the McEntire kids, Alice, Pake, Reba and Susie, to sing three and four part harmony to keep them from fussin, fightin and gettin in trouble. Pake realized that harmony came natural to all the McEntire kids.

Later in high school, Jac, who was the secretary for Kiowa High School, got together with teacher, singer, guitar, and fiddle player, Clark Rhyne, and approached the school’s superintendent, Harold Toaz, about forming a school band. At that time, all three decided the school needed a country band class with the participating students receiving one credit. That was the beginning of the Kiowa Cowboy School Band of which six of the nine students are still making their living either totally or partially by playing and singing today. The class would play for country music events of all kinds for the school and the students would even borrow the instruments to go play gigs on weekends.

Clark Rhyne, who taught the class, wrote a song about Pake's Grand Pap, John McEntire, on November 19, 1970, and with Pake, Susie and Reba went to Oklahoma City and recorded their first record, “The Ballad of John McEntire”. It sold seventeen copies just like that ---and then it tapered off.

After graduation in 1971, Pake ran steers in Atoka and Pittsburg Counties in Oklahoma, roped in a bunch of rodeos, and continued to play music. Pake recorded his first album “The Rodeo Man” in 1980 with the cover shot in the short go at the 1980 Pendleton Round Up Rodeo. After competing at the rodeos, Pake would walk through the grand stands pedaling his music to the crowd like a hot dog vender.

Another cassette followed with sister Susie in 1983, and in 1985, Pake landed a contract with RCA for two albums, “Too Old To Grow Up Now” and “My Whole World”. The fourth CD came much later in 2003 with “And They Danced”. The title song was written by Pake's daughter, Autumn, and Ellen Tift. Today, Pake’s singing and fiddle playing tours consist of traditional country sounds with lots of easy to understand country music.
