WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - s4story -- (Lake Park, FL – September 14, 2022) Coming this Saturday: Mark Frangione, the Owner/Chef of the popular restaurant The Pelican Café, is hosting a private, invitation-only cocktail party and book-signing celebrating the publication of The Contemporary Singer's Blueprint: From Amateur to Professional and Beyond written by popular cabaret star Jill Switzer. The fun event will be held at the award-winning restaurant, located at 612 US-1 in Lake Park (33403), from 5 to 6:30 pm on September 17, followed by a public performance from 6:30 to 9 pm by The Switzer Trio.

Known to South Florida and New York audiences as an extraordinary interpreter of the Great American Songbook, Jill is also widely recognized as one of the former co-hosts with husband Rich Switzer of the Legends Radio Morning Lounge.

"Music classes and repertories are filled with aspiring and talented singers, yet less than five percent of all musicians make a living in their field," advises Switzer. "This book is the go-to guide for those singers looking to work professionally as a performer."
