“Around Sinatra’s Piano Bar” – A Night of Classic Glamour & Timeless Song
Singers Barb Bailey & Bill Serritella proudly announce the debut of their new show – “Around Sinatra’s Piano Bar” – on Sunday, April 19th in The Gateway Lounge at the Copernicus Center in Chicago.
Together, Barb and Bill recreate the intimate magic of Frank Sinatra’s legendary piano bar during the years he co-owned the Cal Neva Resort (1960–1963). Their show playfully poses the question:
“What singers will visit Frank’s piano bar tonight?”

 About the Artists
Barb Bailey
A veteran music agent, Barb also sings, writes and produces shows for herself and her clients nationally. Found abandoned as a baby in a cardboard box in Wheeling, WV, Barb’s life story is one of triumph and purpose. As she says:
“It doesn’t matter how we start out in life. What matters is what we do with it.”

Last year, Barb was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Humanities, and she continues to “pay it forward” through her music and advocacy.

Bill Serritella
Bill tours extensively with Ocean’s Rat Pack, portraying the Chairman of the Board himself. Serritella also performs in a variety of shows as a solo act or paired with other co-stars. 

Raised in the Chicago area with a close knit, large Italian family, Sinatra recordings were played constantly. Bill developed a deep appreciation for Sinatra’s phrasing, tone and effortless cool.

Ocean’s Rat Pack was awarded “Best Tribute Band” last fall at the Josie Independent Music Awards — presented on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
