LANCE LIPINSKY

                 

                  

Lance Lipinsky not only admits but is proud when saying he's

"not doing anything new." The simplicity of 2 and a half minute

pop songs drenched in cold reverb with baritone guitar and lightning struck piano swells is a sound Lipinsky wants to make sure survives after it's original 60 year old conception.

This back to basics sound returns and is indeed alive and well with his band the Lovers in their much anticipated and long awaited debut album "Roll," revisiting the fine line between danger, innocence, and romance that defined the Atomic age of mid century American music.

Most of the tracks on Roll were cut at the historic Sun Records in Memphis using all the original analog tape machines, microphones and vintage equipment on the recordings.

With driving Jerry Lee Lewis piano rhythms and Presley inspired swagger in his own persona, Lance Lipinsky preserves the timeless tradition of the 1950's & 60's subculture in not only in his songwriting, but also as a show stopping live entertainer.

As a new sound emerged in the mid 1950's, flocks of guitar marketed themed singers dominated the scene. In this new arena called Rock & Roll, only a hand few of front men in mainstream pop music history stood behind a piano.

  

                 

Not much has changed generations later as Lipinsky himself is a descendant of this rare breed of piano based entertainers, tickling the ivories of his heroes before him like Charlie Rich, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Floyd Cramer and more.

"What's good doesn't die," is a birthright motto Lipinsky displayed since childhood. With no formal training, his dad's life long vinyl record collection contributed to a self-taught education on piano and guitar was instantly possessed by music before his time.

Paul Lipinsky never missed an oppurtunity to have his 6 year old son Lance sit in and sing with bands that made up the south central Texas music scene in the honky tonk jukejoints he frequented.

 With his parent's blessing, Lipinsky dropped out of high school and moved to Las Vegas where we was determined to make it in show business. With the resources Vegas had to offer for performers, Lipinsky hoped to recreate the succes he previously had in Texas when he cut his teeth as a musician by now honing his craft as a live entertainer.

Tackling every lounge and casino showroom, he eventually was discovered and put on the Vegas strip at a mere 17 years old. He was blessed to now have a fulltime career in various productions and started concentrating on writing original material.
