Frank Rios - lead vocal/percussion

What can I say, I was raised listening to music! My mother was a very good singer and my father played guitar and violin. I also have eight brothers and sisters all musical performers, currently or in the past. I didn’t start playing instruments until I was 18, a late bloomer, you might say. And I really didn’t take music seriously until I arrived in Sacramento in the 90’s. Since then, I've been a singing drummer with Betty & The Boomers and The Rolling Blackouts. Then I branched out and started playing the more sophisticated music of Steely Dan in a tribute called Steely Scam, and what a great group of players that was!

​

That led to guest appearances with Chicago Tribute Authority, and a regular spot as lead vocalist/percussionist with the re-vamped band Chicago the Tribute. As bands often go, I left when I received a call from Ron Jamison asking if I had any interest in joining his Steely Dan/Chicago Tributes – Aja Vu and Stealin’ Chicago. After considerable thought, I made the move and joined the band in April 2022. It’s been a pleasure once again playing the music of my favorite band, Steely Dan as well Chicago, which I’ve played for over 7 years. A perfect fit, you might say. This group of musicians is extremely talented and I’m happy to be one of the “guys”!
