Doc's Passion
Dr. Fontes lives in Phoenix, Arizona, with his beautiful wife, Malissa, and their Boston Terrier, Detox. In his spare time, he travels around the globe playing rockabilly with the Booze Bombs and the Octanes of Austin, Texas. Here in Phoenix, he’s known as “Doc Screamer” with his local rockabilly group, Bo Peep and the Backbeat. On weekends when he’s not out playing music, you can find him tinkering on old cars with the Checs Car Club.
