Top of the World is the world’s premiere tribute to The Carpenters! Fronted by singer Debbie Taylor, her Karen Carpenter vocal resemblance is absolutely astonishing. She is backed by a seven-piece band of top-notch professional musicians who have each had amazing careers in their own right. The band members are all multi-instrumentalists and at times use three keyboards to recreate the incredibly complex arrangements crafted by Richard Carpenter. The attention to detail—paired with saxophone, trumpet, flute, and many more instruments—completes every song to perfection.
This Carpenters tribute band brings the most authentic versions of The Carpenters’ music to the stage. No doubt you’ll be singing along as they perform hits like “Close to You,” “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “Rainy Days and Mondays,” “Please Mr. Postman,” and “Yesterday Once More,” to name a few. Debbie captures the warm tones and contralto range that made Karen’s voice so unique. Sit back and enjoy as Debbie and her band take you on a nostalgic journey through The Carpenters’ greatest hits while sharing some of the backstories behind the music.
Top of The World – A Carpenters Tribute will be live at The Carolina Opry Theater on Sunday, October 18, 2026 at 7:00pm. Tickets are on sale now – click ‘Get Tickets’ to purchase!
