CLEARWATER, Fla. - Sept. 11, 2018 - PRLog -- The show began with Ms. Amber Skjelset, Center Manager, welcoming attendees and providing them with a brief history of the century old icon, the Historic Clearwater Building.

Ms. Sigal then performed songs including: Bring Him Home from

'Les Miserables,' Memory from Cats, Defying Gravity from Wicked, New York State of Mind and Walking in Memphis.

         "It was an incredible way to spend an evening. I grew up going to jazz lounges and loved listening to the familiar songs. To have that feeling recreated here was amazing. Joanie's voice range, song selection, presence/presentation really brings you to another place," said Karen, concert attendee.

Ms. Sigal's performance received two standing ovations and another guest, Rita said, "I am so glad we came came. We had a beautiful evening. I liked Joanie's spirit, the environment and the atmosphere was great. She's obviously been preparing for this for some time – every nuance, the song choices – everything! I am a singer myself and performed for 10 years and I can really appreciate her talent."
