I’m originally from Detroit, Michigan. As a youth, I would come home from church and my dad would be playing Sinatra L.P.’s on the combination TV, radio and record player. Listening to the music, I learned Frank’s unique timing and style.
After moving to California, I worked in the Wine and Spirits industry for 41 years and would sing occasionally at restaurant events and meetings. I met Kathy and we have been married over 42 years. Nine years ago, I was hired at Wilson Creek Winery as a tour guide. They gave me permission to sing a song or two on each tour.
8 years ago, Kathy and I developed the “Can I Be Frank?” Sinatra Tribute show and it has evolved into quite a fun thing! We have now done 200 shows at the winery and about another 225 at other locations including private parties and Cruise ships. In July of 2023, we performed 3 shows in Detroit ,Michigan. Many thanks to the Wilson family for allowing us to do the show.
We were honored to have performed twice in Palm Springs at the home of Frank Sinatra!
We have been featured on the local National Public Radio Affiliate
FYI, I have no formal voice training.
