After a 20-year hiatus, Pablo Cruise is bringing more energy and excitement to the stage with their down-to-earth vocals accompanied by fun, infectious grooves. Since 1975, 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. Having completed several national tours and releasing 7 studio albums, the band is back to playing their passions in the American Pop Rock world. To hear Pablo Cruise on record is one thing, but to experience the band live is an exhilarating event!

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 nowhere 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.
