Sally
Schleker
This marks Sally's 5th appearance with Singer Spotlight--usually
up north, here at Pop's Highwood, but has also been heard with the
Unplugged crowd at UncommonGround. For many years Sally has performed
in a variety of musical productions all along the North Shore. In
the past few years, she has had a successful cabaret career at Davenport's
in Chicago but is presently on an extended maternity leave. (No,
no, no, it's not what you're thinking...her musical director's wife
had a baby.) Besides singing, wherever and whenever she can, Sally
spends her "spare time" teaching 2nd grade, perusing (or is that
cruising ) dating websites and learning the computer skills she
needs to get her website, www.sallyschleker.com, up and running.
Sally would like to thank the producers who continue to allow her
to be a part of the Singer Spotlight family. Special thanks to all
her fans, friends and family, who are willing to come out and stay
up late on a school night.
