Jeani Filip
Jeani's going on her 30th year in the music biz. She's sung on hundreds of radio & TV commercials. She was a regular @ Rupert's 33 Club '85-'88. Had an original rock band "Partners in Crime" '79-'81. She's jobbed with several bands, longest stints with Orchestra 33 Late Night Band, and more recently with Larry Eckerling & his Orchestra. She's been living in Pardeeville Wisconsin for the last 12 years. recently left Larry to pursue writing & performing with "Dial 9" in the Madison WI area. She wants to dedicate her performance tonight to Lara "who is the reason I was born" and to Todd "who makes me keep the music honest". Classic rock and Blues are her musical passions and she's going to show us why tonight. Enjoy! And, as always, "Thanks!" for listening.

Jim Loftus
use the talents that you possess.
the woods would be very silent if
no birds would sing except the best

I find it incredibly difficult to write or talk about myself. Maybe that's the reason I like to observe other people's actions and emotions. Comparing them to what I would think or feel, whether I would agree or disagree, is the basis for a musical response. Taking that emotive reply, shaping it with words and melody, then, forming the entire process into one completed song, is a wondrous accomplishment that I would love to share with anyone who will take the time to listen.

Fannie Floros
Fannie is elated and quite nervous to be performing at Chicago Singer Spotlight for the first time. Although she has sung back-up, and in her church choir growing up, this is her first time singing solo. She would like to thank the band and everyone at Singer Spotlight for this opportunity. She would especially like to thank Becca Kaufman for "encouraging" her to take part in Chicago Singer Spotlight and perform some of her own material. Thanks also go out to her gifted writing partner Rich Rankin, her ever so talented and good looking vocal coach, Fred Farran, her wonderful family and amazing friends and her loving and supportive husband Lou. Peace!

Jen Chada
Jennifer Chada is thrilled to debut at Fitzgerald’s as part of The Chicago Singer Spotlight. No stranger to the stage, Chicago audiences and critics alike have raved over her performances in favorite roles including Eva Peron in "Evita", Guenevere in "Camelot", and Audrey in "Little Shop of Horrors". In addition to her day job as #1 Mom (of 4 yr. old Megan), and a successful career in the on-camera/voiceover business, she took the cabaret scene by storm last year with her critically acclaimed one-woman show entitled, "I Want More - Songs of ‘Real Women’ Doin’ Their Dreams, Deeds and Desires", which played to full houses at Davenport’s in Chicago. The show prompted After Dark critic Jeff Rossen to say, "Chada burst forth as a major new talent." That led to performances at the Chicago Humanities Festival and recently the First Ever Chicago Cabaret Convention held at Park West. For upcoming show info please e-mail Jennifer at Jenchada@aol.com.
