Performing at Chicago Singer Spotlight on Wednesday, October 9 at FitzGerald's.

Dawn O'Keefe Williams
I perform within the tristate area and work with Ronny & The Rockits who back me up on my gigs. Last month we were at the Chicago Cultural Center and can be viewed on Chicago's Channel 25. I received a Billboard Certificate Award of Achievement for my song STONE COLD FOOL and I was a backup singer for recording artist Vanessa Davis. I have produced many fundraisers and workshop panels.

Jodi Kaitlyn
My name is Jodi Kaitlyn, I am an emergency room trauma nurse and vocalist/ song writer. I released my first CD with all original productions about a year ago with Kraig McCreary as my producer, and hope to produce another soon! I have sang in multiple pop rock bands, and performed with a contemporary gospel group. I sing professionally at wedding ceremonies and love to perform the National Anthem, and have done so at many events, including for the Chicago Cubs, the Schaumburg Flyers, and various memorials and opening ceremonies. I am working on playing the piano and guitar and someday I'll officially add it to my list of things "I do"! Besides all this music stuff -I love to exercise, camp, fish, garden, and reading. I never sit down-AKA energizer bunny!

Stephanie Rogers
Stephanie Rogers is an award-winning songwriter from Chicago. She grew up and went to college in Evanston and has two main loves in her life: her husband John and their son, Charlie. Stephanie came to music kind of late in life, after overcoming cancer. She had starred in lots of commercials and small movies roles, then one day in 1994 she realized she wanted to learn to sing. Stephanie sings with The Eddie Harrison Orchestra every week, and her own band performs at Navy Pier, as well as around the club scene. She started Hipchick Records in 1999 to promote her music on the internet and her second cd will be out in November. Her first cd, "Not To Keep," has won a lot of critical acclaim and has sold like hotcakes on the web. For information about her upcoming cd release party, please see her website at: www.hipchick.com. Steph thanks Amy and Becca for their continued support.
