We've Only Just Begun - the Music of the Carpenters

Played all of the great songs that the Carpenters did. They sounded as good as the originals. I would highly suggest seeing this show if you like the Carpenters.

I attended the 7/15/2017 concert featuring the Carpenters Remembered band at Chastain Park. A brief storm had passed through and the weather was surprisingly pleasant for a summer's night in the ATL. The band features 6 musicians, one female backup singer, and Michelle Brett as lead vocalist. Several of the musicians were new to the group including the piano player assigned to the Richard Carpenter parts. The group's arranger Harry Sharp did the conducting and the synthesized strings and horn parts. To the band's credit, they did not present themselves as clones of the Carpenters but as a tribute band intending to take their audience on a trip of delightful musical memories. The music was excellent and Michelle did a great job recreating the vocals of Karen Carpenter. At the end of the concert the band simply disengaged and waived goodbye -- no encore drama or milking of the audience. Sadly, the amphitheater was only about 20-25% full, but the audience had ample leg room and was treated to a wonderful musical experience.

The show was Ok! She should have sang more of her hits! You don't want to hear songs that you never heard of! Also to much talking about her band! No Encore!

This show was fabulous. One song after another was magical. I cannot say enough about this beautiful show. Michelle Berting Brett does an amazing job displaying a loving tribute to Karen Carpenter. Her voice is superb and the band is awesome.
