Band Profile

Dante's Bop is a quartet based in Southeastern Wisconsin that has been performing since the mid 90's. The band specializes in a mix of vintage Country, Rockabilly, Pop and Jazz standards, and original compositions. All of the members are accomplished musicians. There are no prerecorded instruments or fake drum, horn, or vocal tracks in their live performances. Just four musicians making music. Real music by real musicians.

The set lists cover vintage country stars like Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofersen, Waylon Jennings, Patsy Cline, and others. Rockabilly numbers by Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, and of course the King, Elvis Presley. Mix in some Dusty Springfield, Burt Bacharach, Credence Clearwater, Bobbie Gentry, and Ricky Nelson and you have a very eclectic mix of great songs. In addition to these greats, the band performs some of their own compositions. The band's last two albums were recorded at Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. For you music historians, this is the small recording studio on Union Avenue in downtown Memphis, where Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and others got their start. The songs composed by the band have some of that old school sound made famous by the musicians who recorded at Sun on the mid to late 50's. To date we have released 4 albums and are working on number 5. We have copyrights on over 60 of our compositions and have most of the titles registered with ASCAP. We have written songs for clients needing a specific type of song, groove, or theme. I encourage you to check out the mp3's of our material that you will find on this site.
