I am a bassist/mandolinist/acoustic guitarist/vocalist based in Southern Jersey. I've been playing bass since I was 18, guitar a few years less than that, and mandolin only for the past few years. I am also a singer/songwriter currently working on my first CD, which will be called "Solace". This site contains my schedule, some photos, and a list of equipment. Visit my MySpace page at www.myspace.com/nickfrese.

I am a long-time member of the Black Tie Orchestra, a top Jersey wedding and special occasion act. I also play in an acoustic quartet, Acoustic Cafe, and have been known to associate with musical felons such as Lynn King, Jeff Selby, Deb Chamberlin, Paul Street, and lead guitarist Bill Hornibrook, among other criminals.

Additionally, I have been known to play a little baseball in and around the South Jersey area, even thought it's an undisputed fact that I am way too old to do that. For more details, please visit the Washington Township Senators website.

And, of course, one of my biggest goals in life is to develop the Fund in memory of my beautiful daughter, Nicole, into a self-sustaining account that will continue to provide money for the Camden County Animal Shelter and the Camden Ronald McDonald House long after I'm gone. To learn more, or to contribute to the Fund, visit Nicole's website.
