Bios of the Players
Gary Crane -
Bass guitar, harmony vocals
Gary was born in Richmond, Virginia,
raised in the West End and has been a resident of Hanover
County for over 20 years.
After high school he played with several
bands, including Linny, Dave & Co., and
Union Pacific Band. He later worked with Nite
Flite (Sound Engineer) – Phoenix,
Frontline (Christian Rock), Night Shift
and yet again, Union Pacific Band (Phase 2).
Gary could be considered the beginning and the end of
the Union Pacific Band.

It was shortly
after he joined Linny, Dave & Co.
in 1976 that the band first changed their name.
Even through all the personnel changes, it remained
UPB until, as the final original member, Gary
left the band in 1983. When asked to join the
Satisfaction Band at the end of 2004, his friends
and band mates suggested a revival of the well
known name.
When asked for his best UPB memories, the following
list comes to mind: Wm & Mary Hall –
UVa Frat Parties – St. Mary’s College,
Md. – DSF Prom - Melrose Caverns Playhouse
@ JMU – Statutory Rock – Opening
for Robbin.
Gary’s
interests cover a wide range
from NASCAR and web surfing to
crossword puzzles and contemporary
Christian rock.
And
of course, his most favorite
nickname, “DamPa.”
