Frank Lamphere, singer of great Italian songs. Headliner at Italian fests in Chicago, New York, Milwaukee.
Were there ever more prolific singers in American pop music than: Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Perry Como, and Vic Damone? Now add to the list, the subsequent generation of singers: Bobby Darin, Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell, Dion among others. These musical superstars are as Italian-American as nonna's polpette and zio's homemade wine.
Italian-Americans have had an important role in shaping a great American culture and have a very rich tradition that includes a strong love of family, the worlds’ favorite cuisine and of course exceptional music. You are undoubtedly well aware of this!
For the very reason that you are likely to take your music seriously, you should consider hiring Frank Lamphere and his band for your next Italian-themed event. This great music deserves to be heard live and performed at a high level. Look around, most of what remains of this magical music are overly vibratoed, fedora wearing singers that all use the same karaoke tracks. Frank on the other hand is a professional vocalist that has listened to these songs his whole life, has spent much time in Italy, speaks the language and has also performed there, numerous times. One thing for sure, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and others, were the very best in their field. Theirs are impossible shoes-to-fill. Lamphere gets pretty close, while not attempting to do amateur impersonations.
No karaoke tracks here! Frank's hand-picked band of professional musicians are second to none at playing this intricate music and creating the proper backgrounds for Frank to be effective and believable, while performing the classic Italian-American music. No one that we’re aware of, has such a vast repertoire of Italian, retro Italian-American pop, big band & jazz songs to choose from. It is Frank’s huge repertoire that guarantees a stunning variety of high quality music that can change from show to show.
Lamphere, although born and raised in the Chicago area, met his native Italian wife Daniela, while in Rome. They vacation in Italy with their children Deanna and Francesco.
