Wonderful show...the singer obviously knew the music well and loved the Carptenters. My only disappointment was that she didn't have a male singer with her to provide the harmonies that I were so much a part of their music.Written on Feb 14 2012

Quotes & Highlights
- "[Judy's] velvety voice, phrasing and conversational delivery of a song are all products of years spent listening to the timeless recordings of the Carpenters. Her passion and joy for the material make Judy the perfect vocalist to pay tribute." --Randy Schmidt (author, Little Girl Blue: the Life of Karen Carpenter)
Description
2011 Grammy nominated vocalist Judy Pancoast and Musical Director Michael Pierce present Closer to You A Live Tribute to The Carpenters. The Historic Regent Theatre in Arlington, Massachusetts will provide the perfect setting for a Valentine’s weekend celebrating the timeless love songs of The Carpenters, including such classics as “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “Rainy Days and Mondays,” “I Won’t Last a Day Without You” and, of course, “Close to You.” Pancoast was just eleven years old when her older sister told her about a song she’d heard on the radio, and said that the girl singing it sounded “just like you.” That was the summer of 1970, and when Judy finally heard “(They Long to Be) Close to You” it was the beginning of a childhood adulation that would last well into her adult years. She spent her adolescent and teen years listening nearly non-stop to the music of the brother and sister duo who called themselves “Carpenters,” and she became one of the charter members of their fan club at age 12. Judy’s natural rich alto voice blended well with Karen’s, and she spent countless hours in front of a mirror with a hair brush “microphone” mimicking her idol’s voice. Later, while a music major at the University of Maine, she was advised to “stop trying to sound like Karen Carpenter,” but although she managed finally to all but erase the traces of Karen’s styling, the influence had already had its impact.
