Joe and Gene Dante

June 13, 2016 - Listening to Gene Dante sing a song is like unwrapping a sparkly gift you've always wanted. Gene's voice is at once brawny and refined, more theatrical than your average rock singer. As an accomplished actor, he's got the stage presence to charm a connection with every member of the audience. Gene performs with theatre troupes around New York and New England, co-manages his own theatre production company and fronts the popular Boston-based glam rock band Gene Dante & The Future Starlets. 

Fueled by influences from Brian Eno to The Runaways, Bowie, Neil Diamond and Paul Lynde (wait, what?), Gene Dante delivers an engaging performance that's an exquisite, rare combination of style and substance. His body of work is Gen X glam poetry set to rock music. Sometimes introspective, often playful, sexy, puckish and even at times, anthemic, it's the stuff that can only come from honing a rock star's hard skills (songcraft, playing) and soft skills (stage presence, personality). Because he's such a lyrical writer, Gene's songs lose no power when performed pared down to just voice and guitar. Gorgeous jams like "Little Belle" alongside the bubblegum sleaze of  "C Star." You should definitely check out "C Star."
