How to Hire PETER FRAMPTON For Your Event!
GRAMMY AWARD winning Peter Kenneth Frampton (born 22 April
1950) is an English-American musician and songwriter who rose to prominence as a
member of the rock bands Humble Pie and the Herd.
In early 1965, Peter Frampton formed the pop band The Herd with Andy Bown, keyboards, Gary Taylor, bass, Andrew Steele, drums. After Parlophone dropped them after flop singles, they signed to Fontana, where songwriters Howard and Blaikley orchestrated a blend of pop and flower power. Their second single 'From The Underworld' reached no. 6 with help from pirate radio, followed by similar 'Paradise
Lost', no. 15 early '68.

His first solo LP "Wind Of Change" had melodic pop helped by heavy friends
Ringo Starr,
Billy Preston, Klaus Voorman,
etc.
He formed Camel (which became Frampton's Camel, because of Peter Bardens' Camel) for live work, with Mike Kellie (ex-Spooky Tooth), drums, Rick Wills (ex-Cochise), bass, keyboardist Mickey Gallagher. Early music was high on melody, low on lyrical content. But the band toured widely, making a basis for future success.
Later in his career Frampton found success as a solo artist.
He has released several albums, including his breakthrough album, the live
release Frampton Comes Alive! (1976), which spawned several hit singles
and has earned 8× Platinum by the RIAA in the United States.

1976, and it was also the 14th best seller of 1977. The album won Frampton a
Juno Award in 1977.

Peter Frampton remained a very successful touring artist, and "Live In Detroit" was recorded
1999, an appealing mix of old and new material, Frampton singing as well as ever. The accompanying DVD was one of the first recorded in both high-definition TV format and 5.1 surround sound.
His Framptone company manufactured hand-made gadgets for guitarists, such as two-way and three-way amp switchers and the Talkbox, which makes the guitar sound like a voice. The devices were used by people like
