“Rainy Days, Mondays & Good Old Dreams” sensitively explores the music and lives of the Carpenters from their early attempts to get a ‘break', to their greatest influences as well as the challenges faced by the incomparable sibling duo along their journey to stardom and, ultimately, to tragedy.
Kerry Le Bern sympathetically re-creates the nuances of Karen Carpenter's soulful contralto tones, whilst telling the tragic story of a life ended far too abruptly. She says, “in this homage to the Carpenters, I want my audiences to hear Karen's vocals through my own interpretation, but I also want to tell their story, I want people to go away saying ‘how different”, “how fascinating” or “I didn't know that”.
Kerry is delighted to be joined on stage by her band of talented musicians and they will transport you right back to the Carpenters' magic of the 1970's with their unique and insightful performance.
