FRANK LAMPHERE Swingin' Traditional Pop & Jazz Singer

Frank Lamphere is a traditional pop-jazz singer, independent recording artist and throwback to the adult male pop singers of the 1950-60s. Frank is for hire (weddings, fundraisers, corporate-private parties, recording projects) with his all-star band, anywhere in the U.S.A  

Frank Lamphere has been honing his swinging singing style, for more than 25 years. The genre, nowadays known as traditional pop, he learned or rather "absorbed" from the icons of pre-1970 adult pop music: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jack Jones, Buddy Greco, and Tony Bennett. In his early-20s he began “learning the trade” by sitting-in and eventually working with many of Chicago's illustrious lounge acts & jazz musicians. He started taking on his own gigs and formed his brand Rat Pack Jazz in the early 2000s.  

Lamphere's career highlights include five studio albums, radio and television commercials, gigs at “top” jazz clubs like Chicago's Green Mill & Andy's Jazz Club, jazz fests, center-court Valentine's Day concert at the United Center, headlining numerous Rat Pack themed shows and Italian fests across the country, high-profile corporate & private gigs from Las Vegas, to New York, to Milan, Italy. His original song I Never Forgot from "Frank Swings" in 2012, was featured prominently in the award-winning film Theresa Is a Mother.  His yet to be released Frank Sinatra tribute song “If You Like Frank” was a semi-finalist in the International Song Writing Contest.

Frank is hired across the U.S. to perform his brand of "Rat Pack Jazz" (A musical bridge connecting pop and jazz). Whether with an intimate jazz trio or a roaring 13 piece big band, Lamphere's groups are comprised of some of the “top” jazz musicians in the business. He released (Feb 2025) his fifth album, a Frank Sinatra tribute “Frank Songs, My Way”.  He also has a thirteen song tribute to Dean Martin album, in post production and is anticipated for a mid 2026 release. He is married and has two children.
