Performing
at Singer Spotlight North Shore on Thursday, September 26 at Pops
Highwood.
Geneva
Norman
Geneva
is a relative newcomer to Chicago. Born and raised in Cleveland,
Ohio she sang in church and school choirs and local events from
childhood. She came to Chicago to complete an academic program at
the Chicago Medical School. While a student there a friend, who'd
heard her sing, recommended that she audition at The Old Town School
of Folk Music's Blues School. She auditioned and won a spot in the
Blues Ensemble. At Old Town her love of the blues music was cultivated
and nurtured and she had the privilege of studying under such Chicago
Blues greats as Steve Leavitt, Bruce Altice, Steve Hutchins, Steve
Doyle and thrice grammy nominated bass man Harlan Terson. Today
she is the vocalists for two local bands "The Geneva Convention"
and "My Sister" Blues bands.
Bryan Frischer
Bryan
Frischer has been singing in both amateur and professional shows
all his life, performing publicly for the first when he was seven
years old. Bryan has performed professionally as Sky Masterson in
Guys and Dolls at the Des Moines Dinner Theatre and in several
Broadway reviews. His amateur roles include Joseph in Joseph
and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Curly in Oklahoma,
Conrad Birdie in Bye Bye Birdie, and chorus roles in West
Side Story, Cabaret, Jesus Christ Superstar, and The Threepenney
Opera. He also performed the National Anthem for the Chicago
Bulls. Bryan wishes to thank his family, Lori, Mady, and Zach for
their unwavering and loving support.
Nancie Billingsley
Although
she doesn't do it often enough, Nancie loves to sing! She will gladly
belt out a tune whenever asked and is thrilled to return for the
first anniversary of her Singer Spotlight show with Andy, Bryan
and Geneva. After a recent move with her family to her hometown
of Traverse City, Michigan in June, the focus on Nancie's music
has taken a backseat to all that a move entails. Along with her
thriving jewelry design business she hopes to get involved in the
local music scene and continue to come back to do Singer Spotlight
whenever possible.
Andy Rabensteine
Andy
Rabensteine is so happy to be performing alongside these singers
with Singer Spotlight again after having an amazing evening last
September. Since he saw you all last, Andy has worked on a variety
of different projects. He continued singing at Gentry on Halsted
throughout 2001 and then in the first few months of 2002 he appeared
in Circle Theatre's production of Terrance McNally's THE LISBON
TRAVIATA. Shortly after that, Andy began singing full-time on the
Spirit of Chicago down at Navy Pier where he currently sings five
nights a week. Upcoming projects include starring as Ronald in Boxer
Rebellion Theatre's production of Nicky Silver's THE ALTRUISTS in
the fall, performing in MRS. CLAUS with Chicago Kids Company and
continuing to sing aboard the Spirit of Chicago. Andy wants to thank
all of his friends for their constant support, time and love.
