From behind the microphone and the drum set, multi-instrumentalist Katie Pinder Brown's sparkling voice, charisma, and poise honor the memory of one of the greatest singers of all time. Katie has studied the unique vocal sound and delivery of Karen Carpenter to replicate the range, tone, and emotion of Karen's exquisite style. Katie is accompanied by the Richard to her Karen--keyboardist Michael Mastroianni--the Close to the Carpenters band including bass, drums, and horns, and a flawlessly synced multimedia presentation of archival footage and complementary video. As one of the best selling acts in pop music history, The Carpenters have held a special place in the hearts of music lovers for decades, and this note-perfect production brings that iconic legacy to life for today's audiences.
