Musicians Help Provide Fun Filled Nights at the Cabana Grill
By Renee Burrell
If you are up for a night of top-shelf dining and dancing, head over to
the Cabana Grill on Sand Key. You may have heard about French Chef
Alain's menu there, but did you know about the live music and dancing? A
musical duo comprised of vocalist Carol Mitchell, who many remember from
the Clearwater Beach Hotel, and talented musician Eric Enfield, who
sings and plays keyboards, guitar, and drums, make up "Two for the
Show". Mitchell and Enfield play a variety of pop, blues, jazz and R & B
standards nightly from 7-11 p.m.
Since forming Two for the Show, the duo has also played for weddings,
banquets and private dinners, and other special occasions. "If you were
married along the beach, I probably played for your wedding," Eric
mused.
Two for the Show's musical repertoire can be enjoyed by all ages because
the duo take requests and play countless crowd pleasers and dance
numbers.
Both are veterans of the Midwest entertainment circuits. Being in the
same profession, it seemed inevitable for the two to find out about each
other. "An agent named Earl Hagan told me about Eric," said Mitchell.
"It's funny, too, because Eric and I are both from the Chicago area and
though we didn't know each other then, our paths must have crossed many
times as we played at many of the same venues, but never met. It's been
interesting to list of all of the parallels. Both of us ended up moving
from the Midwest to Tampa Bay to work on cruise ships."
"Eric can play hundreds of songs and knows all of the facts about who
composed them and who sang what," said added. Enfield has performed in
concert and recorded with some well known musicians such as David Ruffin
& Eddie Kendrick, Chaka Khan, The Chi-Lites, Bobby Blue Bland, Peaches
and Herb and REO Speedwagon.
"Carol is very easy to work with and knows the lyrics to so many songs,"
said Enfield. Mitchell began singing professionally in the San Diego
area after relocating from her native Chicago in her teens. Her vocals
lean in style towards other songbirds like Billie Holliday, Ella
Fitzgerald, and contemporary singers Madonna and Nora Jones and range
from country, rock and blues, to show tunes and torch songs. Starting
promptly at 7 p.m., I was there Friday evening and heard their first
set. "Carol sounds like Barbra Streisand," remarked a Cabana Grill
regular who has been following Eric's performances for 20 years. "The
whole place is terrific. Michele is wonderful!"
Cabana Grill's manager, Michele sang Two for the Show's praises. "I love
them both. It's so nice that they got together. It had nothing to do
with me. They make a nice duet and are part of the restaurant's
ambience, along with the menu and the view."
The musical duo and Michele have known each other for years. "I worked
with him for 19 years aboard The Starlight Princess when he was the
manager there," said Enfield.
Carol was their competition. She worked across from them in John's Pass
aboard the Europa as the cruise director, but later worked with Michele
at the Clearwater Beach Hotel.
Concerning the upcoming and much anticipated renovations for the
Belleview Biltmore Resort and the Cabana Grill Mitchell said, "We're
excited. I don't think it's going to be happening for awhile, but it
will be well worth it when it's done." Enfield added, "Of course we'll
be here doing business until then, taking it one day at a time. We hope
to be back when the renovations are complete. We really enjoy working
with Michele."
Manager Michele explained that though Cabana Grill is a premium for
guests staying at the Resort, the heart of the business are the local
people who come for dining, dancing and to hear Mitchell and Enfield.
"Eighty percent of our customer base is comprised of locals. Many come
to dance and many just to watch and enjoy the food and view." The Cabana
Grill and Bar is located at 1590 Gulf Blvd. Call 595-2491 for more
information.

This around town hound, Pouf Le Roux, a.k.a. “Puff,” took a break from mingling during yappy hour to soak up the resort’s fetching atmosphere.
It’s not far fetched to see dogs at the Belleview Biltmore Resort & Spa in Belleair. Last Friday evening a lawn social, tagged as “Yappy Hour” was held providing a social diversion for area mutts. There was lots of tail and cock-tail wagging as dogs and their owners enjoyed the hospitality at the pet friendly Belleview Biltmore with hostess Kris Walker, owner of Fluffy Puppies-a Place For Dogs, located at 1447 S Ft Harrison Avenue.
Walker said, “This was our first Yappy Hour this year at the Biltmore. We were very happy with the turnout and were excited to find out that the new management will keep the Biltmore dog friendly.” Dogs mixed and mingled, and nibbled on biscuits that Walker bakes in- store and graciously provided. Dogs that were inclined to do so took a dip in the wading pools. Royalty watchers were thrilled to rub elbows with a few King Charles Cavalier s that showed up for the fete. Walker relayed how yappy hour evolved, “I used to have Yappy hours on the patio at the store but as they grew bigger we ran out of room. Alia Trickey, the Spa director at the Biltmore, approached me last year to collaborate with the Biltmore Resort & Spa, since they are dog friendly. We put a little kiosk in their spa shop and planned a Halloween party in which about 200 dogs and their owners came. It was quite a hit!”
If you and Fido missed last Friday’s Yappy Hour, and don't want to miss another of Fluffy Puppies’ events, you'll get a chance to step out with your dog in upcoming months. “We have planned our second Who Let the Dogs Art? art show to be held at the Biltmore for Sunday, September 16, to benefit South East Guide Dogs. We expect around 30 artists from around the country who specialize in Dog art to exhibit their works. Anyone coming can buy pieces of art or jewelry or special order portraits of their dogs. We are also planning our 2nd Halloween party on October 25 with costume contests and game for dogs and their owners, to benefit Stop Pet Overpopulation Together (SPOT),” Walker announced.
