Good ship Pablo Cruise
to dock at the Stanislaus County Fair

            Turlock—Groove-machine Pablo Cruise is bringing its good time vibe to the Stanislaus County Fair.

            After a 20-year hiatus, Pablo Cruise has reunited once again to bring fair guests classic hits like “Whatcha Gonna Do When She Says Good Bye” and “Love Will Find a Way.” The Cruise returns with a renewed passion and welcomes you to once again “Climb Aboard the Good Ship Pablo Cruise” with a stop at the Stanislaus County Fair’s Budweiser Variety Free Stage Friday, July 28 at 8:30 p.m. All concerts on this stage are included with the price of fair gate admission.

            “The music of Pablo Cruise will transport you to the laid-back atmosphere of a tropical island vacation,” said Pennie Rorex, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair. “Fair guests should be sure to wear their flip-flops and sunglasses because this is going to be one cool concert.”

            Their self-titled debut in 1975 launched several Top 10 mega hits that still breeze across the air-waves today. The music of Pablo Cruise is honest, real, down to earth vocals accompanied by fun yet elegant, infectious grooves.
