marianne murphy orland

The songs of The Carpenters are among the most endearing and enduring in American Popular music, and the rich, velvety voice of Karen Carpenter is a big part of the reason. Between 1970 and 1984, the Grammy Award-winning duo had 10 gold singles, nine gold albums, one multi-platinum album and 17 singles in the Billboard Top 20.

Marianne Murphy Orland will perform “If I Were a Carpenter: a Tribute to the Life and Music of the late, great Karen Carpenter. With hits like Close To You, Rainy Days and Mondays, Please Mr. Postman, Superstar, and many others, the program will evoke the memories of those days of young love and promise, and showcase the talents of Marianne Murphy Orland (who is thrilled to say she’s been hearing ‘you sound just like Karen Carpenter” since her teens!); along with Joseph Jefferson and After Dark Award winner George Howe on the piano, and talented multi-instrumentalist Michael B. Favreau.
