Inaugural Frank Amato's Producers Showcase to feature an eclectic lineup of Cleveland bands at Aug. 19 show at Beachland
Veteran Cleveland singer-songwriter Frank Amato and his wife, former WMMS DJ Lisa Dillon, might be one of the city’s top rock ’n’ roll power couples. Together, they own, which Amato describes as a “mobile entertainment company.” Each week, they host a slew of karaoke parties and DJ special events.
When Beau Coup wasn’t touring and recording, Amato worked as an audio engineer for Westwood One Networks under the guidance of his mentor, Arnie Rosenberg, whom he met at Agency Recording, where he worked with such bands as Jimmy Buffett, Brian Adams and Joe Walsh. In addition, Amato helped Bart Koster build his Right Track Studios and worked there as an audio engineer, joining staff members Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, Steve Cox of the Dazz Band and Pete Tokar.
There was a time period in the mid-’90s when the couple moved to Detroit so that Dillon could work for what Amato refers to as the [former WMMS morning show DJs] Jeff and Flash of Detroit. She worked at the classic rock station.” “6T4B's influences are the Doors, Grand Funk Railroad and Pink Floyd," says Amato. They started as a three-piece prog rock band. They have songs that are 10 and 11 minutes long. They’re all about recording organically with live drums. Dreamstreet is the same thing. They’re very AOR, melodic ’80s-into-the-’90s influence. They’re all about recording with live drums in a studio too.”“I met her a couple of years ago; her father is musician and a dental specialist,” he says.
