ABOUT THE BAND:
In 1975 Pablo Cruise released its first A&M album simply entitled
Pablo Cruise. The album cover was shot in the tropical gardens of San
Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and it featured a huge gorilla standing
front and center. The band, David Jenkins (guitars, vocals),Cory
Lerios (keyboards, vocals), Bud Cockerel (bass, vocals) and Steve
Price (drums, percussion) were no where in sight. At that point there
was a bit of a mystique surrounding Pablo Cruise and when asked what
Pablo Cruise meant, the well-rehearsed answer went something like
this: “Pablo”, represents an honest, real, down to earth
individual, and “Cruise” depicts his fun loving, easy going
attitude towards life: In essence that’s what Pablo Cruise music is
all about. Honest, real down to earth vocals, accompanied by fun yet
elegant, infectious grooves. To hear Pablo Cruise on record is one
thing, but to experience the band live is an exhilarating event!
FROM 1975 TO 1985 the band toured the United States, Canada and Japan
extensively, welcoming fans to “Climb Aboard The Good Ship Pablo
Cruise.” Reaching the top 10 with mega hits like “Whatcha Gonna Do
When She Says Goodbye?” and “Love Will Find A Way,”and several
other top 20’s, the band went on to sell several million albums and
singles collectively and established themselves as well respected
writers and performers within the industry. They appeared on numerous
TV shows, including Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, The Merv
Griffin Show, The Dinah Shore Hour and in 1979 they broke Elvis
Presley’s attendance record at the Sahara Tahoe in South Lake Tahoe,
Nevada, becoming the first rock band to play a casino showroom. They
also became the first rock band to grace the stage at the Grand Ole
Opry, but by 1985 after completing several national tours and
releasing 7 studio albums in all, the band decided to take a
hiatus……one that lasted nearly 20 years.
FAST FORWARD 20 YEARS…..In 2005 a reunited Pablo Cruise picked up
where they left off and today the band performs all over the U.S. and
Canada and they’re enjoying it more than ever….Since getting back
together, they have released two live CD’s and a DVD all through
Sony Music documenting their exceptional live shows. “One of the
great things about playing shows after all these years is that the
core band, David, Steve and myself are still here and lovin’ it,
says Cory! Going out and playing shows these days gives us the
opportunity to not only pay tribute to our timeless repertoire, it
gives us a chance to see old friends and fans from back in the day as
well as gaining a whole new audience!” Today Pablo Cruise is
bringing more energy and excitement to the stage than ever before and
with the addition of Larry Antonino and Robbie Wyckoff, the band has
never sounded better….. If you get an opportunity to see Pablo
Cruise live, don’t pass it up…… ”IT’S GOOD TO BE LIVE”
