Just a Good Conversation: Tammy Locke

Tammy Locke started at the tender age of 18 months when she played Robert Redford's daughter in "The Voice of Charlie Pont". She continued working until she was 8 or 9 years old with entertainment talents like Ann-Margret, Clint Eastwood, Barbara Hershey, Rance, Ron, and Clint Howard to name a few. Tammy feel truly honored to have been blessed at such a young age. Although it has taken her almost 40 years to make my way back to the screen, she had never lost her passion for the business. It has been a part of her life in one form or another since she can remember. When she was 16 years old she began to make my way into the music business when she won 3rd place in The Battle of the Bands. At the age of 19, she became a professional Roller Derby skater with the Detroit Devils as #22 and a short time later she even had my own radio show on 93.5 FM, "The Tammy Jean Show". Not long after, a well-known promoter, Mr. Johnny Burger introduced her to a band known as the California Express. Its members included the nephews of the Famous Tex Williams, Russ Paul, and Dennis Orr and Tex's son in law Sam Aiello as well as Marty Rifkin and Christopher Nielson. They, in turn, introduced her to singer/songwriter, Jeffrey Steele. They all became great friends and bandmates as she headlined all over California as Miss Tammy Jean and the California Express over the next 5-6 years. It wasn't until much later, when she discovered Karaoke that her real dream came true and she met her wonderful husband Tom and would have a beautiful son Robby. Her has a website tammylocke.com
