A Conversation with Frank Deringer, frontman for The Jake Deringer Project

Dropped Among This Crowd

This week I am joined by Frank Deringer, frontman for The Jake Deringer Project! Frank discusses his experience playing an after-party with Jake Cinninger for the first time last February in Madison, WI. describing it as the greatest musical experience of his life. He takes us back to the beginning of his musical journey with his family band, starting as a drummer and then transitioning to guitar.

Frank explains the reason why they are named The Jake Deringer Project, even though no one in the band is named Jake. We discuss his musical influences, the fill-in drummers while Kris was away, Jake's drumming, and Frank's umphlove and fandom. He also gives us a sneak peek into the UM original they have planned to play on the 12th and talks about working on new material.

Frank gushes about the guys in JDP; keyboardist Logan Dier, drummer Brett Oemig, and bassist Dusty Padfield. He answers some fun rapid-fire questions, tells us what's on deck for the band, and much more.
