Considered one of the best vocalists of all time, Karen Carpenter captured a generation with her warm tone and unmistakably catchy pop music. With more than a dozen number-one hits, The Carpenters’ timeless love songs remain some of the most recognizable and beloved in music history.
Now, Lisa Rock and her 5-piece band bring that iconic sound back to life with Close to You: The Music of The Carpenters. Rock, an accomplished singer and playwright who has written more than 30 original concerts and cabarets seen across the country, has been performing to sold-out crowds for years. Her remarkable four-octave range allows her to perform classics like “We’ve Only Just Begun” and “Rainy Days and Mondays” in their original keys — keeping the music genuine and instantly recognizable. As critic Alan Bresloff noted, “When she hits the lower range of her marvelous voice, if you close your eyes, you can see Karen Carpenter’s face.”
Beyond the music, Rock weaves in touching anecdotes about Karen Carpenter’s life and the origins of the songs, creating a heartfelt and immersive concert experience. Audiences consistently respond with standing ovations and glowing praise, calling the show “an amazing night of music” and “a rare gem.”
