‘Poets & Pickers’
Thursday, January 13
(Lake Park, FL – December 6, 2021) Mark Frangione, the Owner/Chef of the popular restaurant Café Pelican, is excited about the inaugural dinner-and-show event next month kicking off a new cabaret series.
Thursday, January 13
Carole J. Bufford & Peter Calo
“Poets & Pickers”
The exciting inaugural show in this new four-part cabaret series will feature the very popular and much in demand Carole J. Bufford, one of the most sought after young performers in the New York cabaret and jazz scene who has been hailed by The New York Times as, “Thereal thing; you know when you see it… The way her voice, with its blues inflections, cut a swatch, leaving nothing standing, tempts me to describe her with groveling hyperbole as an earthier, more acerbic, 21st century Barbara Streisand.” Bufford will be accompanied on guitar by Peter Calo, a prolific and gifted musician who has been recognized for his solo work as well as his collaboration with Carly Simon and other great artists.
“The lyrics of the songs in our Poets & Pickers celebration have the ability to make you laugh, break your heart, chill you to the bone, or just make you relish the beauty of the words,” promises the singer. The dinner-show at Pelican Café will include audience favorite numbers by Randy Newman, Irving Berlin, Bobbie Gentry, Cole Porter, John Prine, Kris Kristofferson, Kander & Ebb, and more.
“Poets & Pickers” is generously underwritten in part by:
+ Judy & Jerry Kaufman
+ Cindy & Harold Guttman in honor of Cindy’s parents
The evening will include a delicious three course dinner from 6 to 8 pm, followed by the concert from 8 to 9:15 pm. Dinner will consist of a first course, a choice of one of four entrees, and dessert. A cash bar will be available before and during the shows, and the tables will be reconfigured to maximize visibility of the stage. Master showman Rob Russell will serve as Master of Ceremonies for the concert at the award-winning Pelican Café, which is located at 612 US-1 in Lake Park (33403).
