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, and recently completed my first CD, called "Solace". This site contains my schedule, some photos, and a list of equipment. Visit my MySpace page at www.myspace.com/nickfrese. for additional information.

I was a long-time member of the now defunct Black Tie Orchestra, a top Jersey wedding and special occasion act. I also play in a rocking band called Love Alive, and have been known to associate with various musical felons such as Lynn King, Jeff Selby, Deb Chamberlin, Paul Street, and lead guitarist Bill Hornibrook, among other criminals. Some of favorite musicians include Rick Springfield, The Refugees, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, and Heart, among many, many others.

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.
