are.... a versatile five piece group that presents an excellent verity of fun danceable song favorites from the fifties, sixties, seventies to present hits.

They're always happy to meet fans, so be sure and say hello at the next performance.

Ernie Apodaca - Lead guitar, trumpet, lead and backing vocals

Blazing through lead after lead, Ernie puts his stamp on each song he performs, yet respects the originals so much you'll never mistake them for anything else. Playing his Paul Reed Smith guitar with passion, Ernie swoops sweetly through the oldies one minute, and then fires frantically through rock's latest and greatest the next. Watching him during practice sessions, its clear his knowledge of music has both breadth and depth.
As a vocalist, Ernie is comfortable with oldies, country, and rock; doing Get Ready by Rare Earth, or belting out "La Bamba" (a favorite with the fans) he seems to smile to himself every time he sings. Quietly dignified, Ernie brings a touch of class to every tune he touches. His knowledge of harmony and musical composition is largely instrumental in creating the band's unique arrangements.

Clark Calvert-Sax

This guy is one in a million, Clark has a rich musical history, He is well seasoned and a super player. His melodies and enthusiasm drives the band with a texture and style that is classic. If you love sax this is the man for you. On top of it all, he is a prince of a person, with all the heart that is needed to make the music happen every time.

Skip Craun- Drums, Vocals

The band's 'skin specialist', Skip is the heartbeat of the Fabulous Deville’s. More than just pounding out a time signature, Skip interacts with his fellow musicians, working his runs and fills around their own, augmenting the snap and pop they deliver. Complex beat patterns never confuse the rhythm; he realizes that his service as a metronome for the rest of the band is critical to a snappy, professional performance, when to play; when not to play—Skip knows the value of a well-placed pause during a tune, but he's also the first to fill a silence between songs if Gene isn't providing the patter One of the band's three lead vocalists, Skip covers Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" better than the original, and turns in solid renditions of Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac" and John Cougar's "Cherry Bomb" among others. A strong baritone, his mellifluous voice is a perfect harmonic complement to Gene's when they're doing harmonies.

Gene Thorpe - Guitar, keyboards, lead and backing vocals

Gene Thorpe has been part of the Sacramento music scene for decades, both as a performer and an entrepreneur. While you don't often hear Gene play a lead during their shows, when he does, it is always polished to perfection, whether it's a sweet solo from the 50s, or a blistering blues riff. His sense of timing is steady, putting just the right choice of feel into the tunes. Gene often alternates between keyboard, harmonica and guitar during a tune that really needs whatever, providing support to the band however it's needed.
As a vocalist, Gene's understated grace sweetens many an oldie, but he can growl out the blues with the best of 'em. Of the tunes they play his favorite is Hold on I'm coming.

Jim Gallegos - Bass & Vocals

Jim is a great Vocalist  and has played in some of the finest bands in Northern California. Some bass players are really just frustrated guitarists, and their style often conflicts with the other instruments in the band because they don't truly understand the power of the bass and its position in an ensemble. Not Jimt. Jim's bass provides the foundation they build each performance upon. Rhythmically and musically, the bass is the root of the music, reinforcing the drums, and anchoring the other instruments. With a good bass player, a band sounds clean, crisp, solid, organized—arranged—which is exactly what Jim brings to the Fabulous Deville’s.
