You'll be hard-pressed to find any professional singer in the world that naturally, has as much "Dean" going-on vocally, as Frank Lamphere. But Lamphere is not a Dean Martin impersonator. (Thank goodness!)
Lamphere has a Dean Martin tribute album, containing 13 Dino classics in post production. It is expected to be out in early 2026.
Among the album's swingin tracks are: Volare, Sway, Everybody Loves Somebody, On the Street Where You Live, O Sole Mio and Little Ol Winedrinker Me.
There are not many artists covering Dean Martin material. Dean has always been Lamphere's "sentimental" favorite. Frank's versions, although different in arrangement will contain many "Dino-isms". They are a bit more jazzy and allow his incredible jazz band to also put their "mark" on these great tunes.

Dean Martin Tribute Show. An homage to one of America’s most popular singer-entertainers ever, Dean Martin. Lamphere, who performs this show with an all-star band, has been a standout perfomer on the jazz music scene for years. Frank's long list of credits include: headlining act at the Chicago Festa Italiana, numerous performances in New York, Las Vegas, singing for television commercials, fronted the jazz trio at the “5” star Peninsula Hotel, singing in front of thousands at United Center and U.S. Cellular Field, and concerts in Milan, Italy.
Lamphere brings to this show, a great admiration for this classic music genre and especially for his favorite singer, Dean Martin. The show features Frank's sharp historical perspective, some good laughs, awesome musicianship and certain vocal characteristics that at times, make him sound very much like Dean. But don't be mislead, Lamphere is no Dean Martin impersonator!
