Local On “The Voice”

Before Visalia musi­cian Rudy Par­ris made his tele­vi­sion debut Mon­day on NBC’s “The Voice,” he was known locally as a ver­sa­tile musi­cian with a big voice and a big heart.
For 10 years, Par­ris played with Buck Owens at the Crys­tal Palace in Bak­ers­field. On “The Voice,” he sang “Every Breath You Take” orig­i­nally recorded by The Police in 1983. Par­ris was the final per­former of the night. Some reac­tion from the Twit­ter world included a tweet that said “this dudes hair rocks.”
