He promises to deliver the perfect performance to&nbsp;start&nbsp;the series, with soulful vocals accompanied by his vibrant piano style. Whether he and his&nbsp;musical guest&nbsp;showcase their collective works or perform a brilliantly arranged cover song, the Dan Signor Project always leaves the&nbsp;crowd wanting more. Signor said, \u201cI\u2019m excited to play in the center downtown Lakeland.
