Frank Sinatra "type" singer Frank Lamphere and his star-studded band.
Available to perform nationwide
"One of the premier vocalists in the entire country" - Chicago Jazz Magazine
"In addition to being an excellent singer who is equally skilled at swingers and ballads, he is also a skilled songwriter" - Scott Yanow
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 is at the microphone, listeners know they are experiencing an authentic-to-the-genre, high quality singer. Like the classic male vocalists of the 1950-60s (Frank Sinatra, Vic Damone, Mel Torme, Bobby Darin, Dean Martin), Lamphere has "that" style, "that" voice and he really swings! The impressive musicians performing with him? The best of the best! Really!
Originality? Not another (thank goodness) fedora wearing Frank Sinatra or cigarette clenching, Dean Martin copycat. The music business has lots of those acts. Rather, Lamphere is a pro singer that performs those songs, in his own style. His goal? To entertain listeners with a strong, 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 13 song Dean Martin tribute album is in post-production and expected for release later in 2026.
Songwriter? Lamphere doesn't really consider himself a songwriter, but somehow he has written a handful of songs. Not yet released, his "If You Like Frank" (Frank Sinatra tribute song) was a semifinalist in the Unsigned Only Music Awards songwriting competition. Lamphere's ultra swinging original Chicago Cubs song "Watch Our Cubs Go All the Way" could be huge when released! His fourth album Now, THAT'S Amore!, a 14 song album was released in 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 Vegas on his 2021 album 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 able to appreciate a classic Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra number, sung well and in that "elusive" traditional pop style.
International? Lamphere sings in Italian and is a headliner at the Festa Italiana Milwaukee.
Frank Lamphere is the personification of a nightclub singer, with a live band of 3-18 musicians. No background tracks.
