Close To You; The Story of Karen Carpenter
The act
Close To You; The Story of Karen Carpenter is a Richmond-based tribute show.
What stands out first is that this is a Karen Carpenter tribute with a theatrical lean, led by Meera Belle rather than a simple covers set. You'd place it in a wedding where the music can be properly heard, maybe during dinner or as a featured set, because the show runs as two 45 to 50 minute sets with a six piece live band and two backing vocalists. The song list draws on 20 Carpenters hits from across the duo's decade at the top of the charts, including Close To You, Top Of The World and We've Only Just Begun. That means melodic pop with a very specific mood, and it's especially appealing if those songs mean something to you or your family. Karen Carpenter's voice influenced singers such as K D Lang and Annie Lennox, and her drumming was widely noted too.
