San Francisco Bay area vocalist Laurie Roldan brings an updated version of her concert A Song for You: The Music of Karen Carpenter and Friends on Thursday, April 30 at 7:00 PM. The show will feature guest vocalists Christopher Andrew Aceves and Alexandra de Suze, in addition to a special duet with Laurie’s husband, Dan Roldan. Music director Mathew Zwiebel is at the keys, with bassist Magda Kress and drummer Mitch Bowers.
Inspired by the melodies and powerful storytelling of Karen Carpenter, Rolddan and guests share a delightful evening woven through Carpenter’s hits such as “Close to You,” “Rainy Days and Mondays” and “Ticket to Ride,” in additions to duets that Carpenter performed with Ella Fitzgerald, Andy Williams and Perry Como.
Roldan has appeared as a soloist with symphony orchestras throughout California, including The Diablo Symphony and The Livermore Amador Symphony. She has also performed leading roles with a variety of Bay Area theaters, and was part of the Dean Goodman Award-winning cast of A Grand Night for Singing and was featured in Laurie Sings Gershwin, appearing on a Fox KTVU news special.
