The Music of the Carpenters
Celebrate the unforgettable music of The Carpenters with Lisa Rock and her acclaimed band! This heartfelt tribute features note-perfect vocals, lush harmonies, and all the timeless hits you love. A nostalgic evening filled with warmth, emotion, and musical excellence.
Considered one of the best vocalists of all time, Karen Carpenter captured the attention of a generation with the surprisingly deep material of her unabashedly catchy pop music. Singer and playwright Lisa Rock has compiled a moving tribute to the music and life of Carpenter, and brings it to the stage with her 6-piece backing band.
“When she hits the lower range of her marvelous voice, if you close your eyes, you can see Karen Carpenter’s face.”
-Alan Bresloff, Around the Town Chicago
Rock’s amazing four octave range allows her to sing the hits like “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “Rainy Days and Mondays,” and of course, "Close to You," in their original key, keeping the songs genuine and more recognizable for the audience.
