About Me

Francesca's Brother is the brainchild of Dave Mack, a Singer/Songwriter/musician from NYC currently living and freezing his booty off in Berkeley, CA. Dave Mack is a classically trained vocalist and multi-instrumentalist who has wide and varied influences and is difficult to pigeonhole genre-wise. Growing up in a wonderful and supportive artistic enviornment where all family members were performers has certainly given him the inspiration to be creative. Being an "80's kid", he definitely has his share of those influences but also displays more classic rock ones as well as more 90's singer/songwriter/folk types. Dave Mack previously was the lead singer for Temple 23, a well known local NYC band back in the 90's. He eventually left Temple to pursue his own project. He has performed in clubs all over NYC as well as in LA and even Tokyo. The one common denominator in Francesca's Brother's music is the smooth, powerful and melodic vocals. With generous assistance by Joanna Spencer and Francesca herself! He has in the past collaborated with Jed Gore of Jonas Grumby and Sully of NYC's famous "The Creamsicles". Many of Mr. Mack's songs are auto-biographical so there is a true, genuine feeling to the tunes.
