Exciting Singer of Swing - Standards & Retro Pop "Mr Rat Pack" Frank Lamphere
Frank Lamphere is a professional "old school" singer whose specialty is crooning retro or traditional pop and swinging standards with a star studded band. A fifteen year veteran nightclub entertainer that has thousands of performances to his credit, Lamphere will have a special appeal for fans of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tom Jones, Diana Krall, Elvis, Engelbert, Jack Jones, Bobby Darin, Michael Bublè, Tony Bennett.
A "late blooming" songwriter as well (in 2007 he wrote his first song), his compositions, both music and lyrics, have been gaining very favorable industry attention. A handful of these originals are awaiting release in the Spring of 2011 on Late Nite Records.
Frank's style is swingin', loaded with finger snapping melody and not loaded down with long, tedious instrumental solos.
Longtime former vocalist at Chicago's only 5 star hotel "the Peninsula", Frank's was the house band Jilly's Naperville when they first opened their doors, 1997-99 singer with the Johnny Gabor Trio at the Flame of Countryside, and many others.
Frank performs an incredibly diverse nightclub variety music show in addition to two artist specific shows. These are tribute shows to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin with live musicians, not wimpy karaoke background tracks.
Frank Lamphere entertains for: Chicago corporate functions, wedding receptions, trade shows and conventions, fund-raisers, house parties, and concerts. Frank is also available to perform at wedding receptions in: Milwaukee, New York, St. Louis, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Palm Beach, Dallas, Nashville, Palm Springs, Denver, and anywhere else in the U.S. and Western Europe.
