Strictly Sinatra performing at Edison and Ford Winter Estates
On Jan. 27, Edison and Ford Winter Estates will host the Frank Sinatra tribute, Michael Dutra and the Strictly Sinatra band. This will be the first Rhythm on the River concert of 2023. The event will take place on the Ford lawn, along the Caloosahatchee. Gates open at 6 p.m. and the concert starts at 6:30 p.m.
The group performs many of Sinatra’s greatest hits and has been performing all across the country since 2002. They opened for Howie Mandel at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City and performed at the Governor Chris Christie inaugural event in 2010. Dutra shares many similarities to Frank Sinatra: both are left handed, both born on Dec. 12, they are the same height and both of their fathers were boxers at one time.
Food and beverage vendors will have refreshments available for purchase. No coolers or picnic baskets will be permitted. Free parking is available in the main Edison Ford parking lot at 2350 McGregor Blvd.
Tickets may be purchased online or at the ticket counter. Individual tickets purchased in advance are $30 for Edison Ford members or $35 for non-members; tickets at the door will be $40. Individual ticket holders should bring a lawn chair and sweater or blanket if the weather is chilly.
A VIP seating area may be reserved by the table for $225. Each table holds up to five people; table ticket price includes the use of a table and chairs. For more information or to purchase tickets online, visit EdisonFord.org.
