“A Song For You” Carpenters Tribute

After a twice-sold-out show last November here in Palm Springs, “A Song For You” Carpenter Tribute concert brought multiple generations of the community together for a memorable evening of 70s nostalgia, meaningful music, and new connections. From baby boomers who fondly recall the Carpenters’ chart-topping hits during their prime, to younger generations discovering the magic of their music, “A Song For You” Carpenter’s tribute concert was a uniquely successful blend of sing-along-able moments and surprise guest performances.

On November 6, 2024, Gregory Douglass and Michael Orland will once again present “A Song For You” – an intriguing vocal and piano tribute to the Carpenters – at the Cascade Lounge in downtown Palm Springs Agua Caliente Casino as apart of the “Desert Blues Revival” series.

Celebrating the soft rock legacy of Karen and Richard Carpenter, the performance promises to be an emotional journey back to the music of 1969-1973, brought to life by both esteemed artists: Palm Springs local Gregory Douglass on vocals and Los Angeles-based Michael Orland on piano.Evocative singer Gregory Douglass, hailed as one of indie music’s “best kept secrets” by NPR’s Morning Edition, will lead the evening with his elegant vocals, emulating the voice of Karen Carpenter with surprising precision. Douglass has shared stages with artists like Jason Mraz, Regina Spektor, and Anais Mitchell (writer/composer of HADESTOWN). His soulful approach, often compared to artists like Harry Styles and Adele, lends a modern depth to the nostalgic tunes of the Carpenters as well.

Pianist and musical director Michael Orland, widely recognized for his pivotal musical direction throughout 16 seasons of American Idol, has coached and performed with a constellation of stars, including Kristin Chenoweth, Barry Manilow, and Idina Menzel. The synergy between Douglass and Orland is sure to awe and inspire the audience, making it a must-attend for soft rock aficionados.For more information about “A Song For You” Carpenters Tribute concert, visit https://gregorydouglass.com/carpenters-tribute.
