From a press release:

One of the top Carpenters tribute events, “We’ve Only Just Begun: Carpenters Remembered,” will visit the F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre on Friday, Feb. 15, 2019 at 7 p.m.

We’ve Only Just Begun: Carpenters Remembered is the definitive concert celebrating the music of one of the most successful recording acts of all time. Starring Michelle Berting Brett, who is accompanied by a seven-piece Nashville band directed by Harry Sharpe, the show recreates the original sound of Karen and Richard Carpenter.

The Carpenters sold over a hundred million records in just over a decade and still hold the record for most consecutive Top 10 singles. The dynamic combination of Karen’s voice and Richard’s compositions and arrangements created Grammy Award-winning magic and won them a worldwide legion of loyal fans.

From Washington State to New York City to sold-out engagements in Las Vegas and Downey, California, the Carpenters’ hometown, “We’ve Only Just Begun: Carpenters Remembered” has been met with enthusiasm from Carpenters’ fans and reviewers alike.
