he chairperson of the Jewish Congregation of Marco Island Cultural Series announces its 28th season opening event Jan. 15 at 7:30 p.m. A memorable program you won’t want to miss, “Sinatra’s Great American Songbook” is comprised of the hits made famous by the legendary crooner, sung by the amazing Charlie Blum for one show only. Blum, who now resides on Marco Island, has received praise from critics and audience members alike for his acclaimed one-man show that has thrilled sold-out performances. Not only does he sing classic tunes with his own charismatic style and outstanding voice, but his show is filled with stories of his illustrious career in show business as an entertainment executive who worked with every major artist, including ‘Ol’ Blue Eyes’ himself. As the Chicago Tribune noted, “his styling and vocals are so polished and persuasive.” Gr a m m y - wi nning songw r iter / producer/arranger David Foster said, “Charlie is fantastic! A big hit!”
Please contact me for more information at 954-830-3147 or pyser421@ gmail.com. The Naples Klezmer Revival Band was founded in 1994 to bring “Jewish Music and More!” to concerts, weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs and other events in South Florida. We have since expanded our repertoire to include not only our Klezmer music, but everything from ’50s standards and light jazz to music for all occasions, including our very popular “Octoberfest” program! Consider us for your next cocktail social hour or as a program for your community event.
