"In addition to being an excellent singer who is equally skilled at swingers and ballads, he is also a skilled songwriter" - Scott Yanow (Jazz Historian)
"A vivacious rendition of "My Way" like no other. This new version embodies a finger-snapping, upbeat style replete with lively trumpet and sax melodies, departing significantly from the original" - Third News
"He has a strong and appealing voice, records music that is more jazz-oriented, and his phrasing always results in swinging vocals"- Scott Yanow (Jazz Historian)
Vocal Quality? Whether singing in front of a standing-room-only crowd at the iconic Green Mill or in a penthouse apartment high above Central Park, when Frank Lamphere takes the microphone, listeners know they are not hearing just some ordinary singer. Much like the celebrated male vocalists of the 1950-60s, Lamphere possesses asmooth, distinctive voice and he really swings.How about the band performing with him? Awesome!!! They're some of the top musicians onthe jazz scene. Really! Originality? Not ANOTHER (thank goodness) fedora wearing Frank Sinatra or cigarette clenching, Dean Martin karaoke-copycat. The music business has lots of those. Rather, Lamphere is a pro singer that sings the songs in his own style. His goal? To entertain listeners with an original take on the familiar Rat Pack repertoire, rather than imitating it, note-for-note. That's different! That's refreshing! "Your valuable song memories are safe with Frank Lamphere"
Recordings? Talk about prolific! Five albums released to date. The latest is a unique Frank Sinatra song tribute disc Frank Songs, My Way released in Feb 2025, of which Chicago Jazz Magazine writes "This could be one of the best Frank Sinatra tribute albums ever". A Dean Martin tribute album expected in late 2025 and then a Sinatra tribute (Part 2) will follow.
Songwriter? Not yet released, his original "If You Like Frank" was entered in July 2025, into the Unsigned Only Music Awards songwriting competion and was announced as a semifinalist. Lamphere's original Chicago Cubs song "Watch Our Cubs Go All the Way" is gonna be huge! His fourth album Now, THAT'S Amore!, a 14 song album was released in September 2023 contains four originals. His very powerful pro-American song Thanks To All of These Liars came out Sept 07, 2024 and is being enjoyed across the country. Lamphere introduced his roaring big band song Las Vegason his 2021 CD America the Beautiful, Swinging. His 2012 release I Never Forgot had a prominent role in the multi award-winning film Theresa Is a Mother
Wide appeal? People of all age groups are very appreciative of a classic Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra number, sung well and in that "elusive" traditional pop style.
International? Lamphere sings in Italian (parla e canta in italiano, veramente!)
