Siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter sang a record-breaking number of hit recordings in the 1970s. During their 14-year career, they recorded 11 albums, some television specials, and a short-lived TV series. The duo had three No. 1 singles and five No. 2 singles on the Billboard Hot 100.
Aimée Lee and the Superstars will treat audiences to all the hits, including “Close to You,” “Yesterday Once More,” “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “Superstar” and “For All We Know.”
Lee is the quintessential “Karen,” backed by the Superstars: 12 musicians and back-up singers. Together, they recreate that signature Carpenters sound of beautifully crafted music that an entire generation fell in love with. Audiences will remember Lee from the recent Motown tribute concert headed up by the Fabulous Armadillos, and as a vocalist with The Tex Pistols Band. She and husband Boyd Lee also perform as a duo.
The State Theatre is located at 96 East 4th Street in Zumbrota. For more information call 507-732-5210.
