By Melissa Kalloo, JCMI Office Manager

The 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.” Grammy-winning songwriter/ producer/arranger David Foster said, “Charlie is fantastic! A big hit!”

At a recent sold-out performance at the Marco Players, Scott Shook, of the Coastal Breeze wrote, “the polished singer engaged the audience with comedy, impersonations, story-telling, and they loved every minute of it. Charlie Blum was every bit the genuine article.”

Tickets for “Sinatra’s Great American Songbook,” performed by Charlie Blum are available by visiting www.marcojcmi.com or calling 239-642-0800. The Jewish Congregation of Marco Island is located at 991 Winterberry Drive Marco Island, FL 34145
