What’s in a name? For the guys in the hit 70s disco-rock group Pablo Cruise it’s a philosophical mind-set and attitude: “Pablo” represents a down-to-earth individual and “Cruise” stands for a fun-loving, easy-going style.
Pablo Cruise band members – David Jenkins (guitars, vocals), Cory Lerios (keyboards, vocals) and Steve Price (drums, percussion) – found themselves repeatedly explaining their band name after releasing their first album, Pablo Cruise in 1975. Their tune “Whatcha Gonna Do When She Says Goodbye?,” soared into the Top 10 together with “Love Will Find a Way,” “A Place in The Sun” and “I Go To Rio.” With fame and followers, they toured the world in concert for 10 years and made appearances on shows like Dick Clark’s “American Bandstand.” They were also the first rock band to perform in the Grande Ole Opry.
Since the core group of David, Steve and Cory reunited in 2005, they’ve released two live CDs and have added more energy with the talents of Larry Antonio (bass, vocals) and Robbie Wykoff (vocals, percussion). In this revitalized formation, the music of Pablo Cruise remains true with honest, straight-forward vocals and fun, elegant, infectious grooves.
