My band is composed of my two sons and our nephew. I also play "gigs" with my son Jim, an excellent lead guitar player. My other son "JR" plays drums. He is an accomplished drummer, well known in the Santa Cruz, Ca area. In 70's we had our band "Deepstone," and played lots of spots in the San Francisco Bay area.
Why this name?
Currently the band takes my name, The Frank Dicker band. In the 70's we went by the band name, "Deepstone."
Do you play live?
Yes and I do enjoy it especially when the crowd is into my original songs.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Yes. Through the internet independent artists now have the chance to have the world listen to their songs. It has changed distribution, contracts and promotion.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I would always consider that opportunity. My direction, however, is with my songwriting
Band History:
I've been singing all my life and early on was influenced by Eddie Fisher and then in the 70's by James Taylor. That's when I began to write. In 2000 I became serious about my writing and recording. My writing and performing incorporates the early 50's crooners (before rock&roll) with country and pop. My songs and voice don't sound like anyone else, it's original. My songs have the ability to both soothe and stimulate the senses. I call it "acoustic storytelling."
Your influences?
Eddie Fisher, Jerry Vale, Al Martino and more currently, of course James Taylor, John Mayer and Neil Young. I have many favorites, in all genres, too many to list.
Favorite spot?
London, Paris, Italy, Rome north, Austrailia, New Zealand, Palm Springs and the Monterey Ca. peninsula.
Equipment used:
Taylor acoustic guitar, Fender Telecaster and Schecter electric guitar and Aria acoustic.Tascam DP-01FX/CD eight track recorder with Sure and Tascam mics.
Anything else...?
All songs have been published by Frank A. Dicker Music, (ASCAP) except "Ridin' on That Train" (ASCAP) NBT Music.
