Vermont singer Sally Olson will appear in concert on Thursday, September 1, 2016 at 7:00pm to 9:00pm at the Light Club Lamp Shop in Burlington, VT. Presented by the Light Club Lamp Shop and Radio Bean, with Timothy Guiles on piano and backup vocals, the show will include signature covers and hits by the Carpenters, such as “We’ve Only Just Begun”, “(They Long To Be) Close To You”, “Rainy Days And Mondays”, “Superstar” and more. The show will also delve into Karen Carpenter's lesser-known solo album and deliver a show-stopping six-song Bacharach medley. Sally offers commentary on the history behind the Carpenters’ music, as well as Karen Carpenter’s rise to fame and her sudden and tragic death at the age of thirty-two, due to complications of anorexia nervosa. Carpenters Tribute Concert is the definitive show celebrating the music and history of the famed brother-sister duo and was conceived by Bill Reed (musical director & piano) and Sally Olson (artistic director & lead vocals).

Dennis Delaney, Vermont Public Radio Commentator and former Republican State Senator, has lauded Sally Olson as “absolutely delightful” and Carpenters fans claim that she is “the closest thing to Karen!” She has been told that her voice, appearance and stage-presence bear an uncanny resemblance to that of Karen Carpenter. Sally has a strong affinity for the music of the Carpenters and relates to Karen and her soulful voice quality and sincerity. Sally is deeply honored to be able to pay tribute to the Carpenters with her singing. Through her tribute concert, Sally desires to honor Richard Carpenter's musical genius and Karen Carpenter, one of the greatest female singers of all time. Sally is unsurpassed in her uncanny representation of Karen Carpenter. Her stunning vocals combined with state of the art video projection, vintage costumes, historical commentary and lovely arrangements, will take the audience on an incredible journey that is the world of the Carpenters.
