Close to You: The Music of The Carpenters

Considered one of the best vocalists of all
time, Karen Carpenter captured the attention of a generation with her
unabashedly catchy pop music. The Carpenters’ beautiful, memorable love songs
topped the Billboard charts with more than a dozen number one hits. Now, singer
and playwright Lisa Rock has arranged a 6-piece band, complete with back-up
singers, and together they are dedicated to creating a Carpenters experience
like no other. Rock’s amazing four octave range allows her to sing the hits
like “We’ve Only Just Begun” and “Rainy Days and Mondays” in their original
key, keeping the songs genuine and more recognizable for the audience.
