FREDONIA – The 1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center presents Tapestry, The Carole King Songbook on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
Tapestry, the Carole King Songbook, starring Suzanne O Davis, is a musical tribute to Carole King. The show recreates the sound and vibe of a 1970s Carole King concert experience following her legendary album, Tapestry.
Davis performs all the music from the Tapestry album, and also features many songs that Carole King and her husband, Gerry Goffin, wrote in the 1960s. Released in 1971, Tapestry is one of the best-selling and most celebrated albums of all time. With heart, reverence, and impeccable attention to detail, Davis and her band perform this entire album, plus King’s hits from the 70s.
Audiences will hear: I Feel The Earth Move, Sweet Seasons, Tapestry, It’s Going To Take Some Time Jazzman, Pleasant Valley Sunday, Only Love Is Real, Smackwater Jack, One Fine Day, It’s Too Late, Way Over Yonder, Been To Canaan, Up On The Roof, Chains, You’ve Got a Friend, Beautiful, Go Away Little Girl, Where You Lead, Home Again, Will You Love Me Tomorrow?, Locomotion, Natural Woman, So Far Away, and I’m Into Something Good.
Davis is known as one of the busiest and most talented musicians in Ontario. Her career’s journey has taken her across the globe from the Middle East to Texas to Cuba performing as a keyboardist, vocalist and tribute artist.
Music has always been a driving force in her life as a vocalist, flute player, pianist, teacher, and high energy performer. Her roots started in Ohio at the age of 5, where she was enrolled in children’s programs at the Cleveland Institute of Music. She voraciously studied in proper classrooms, private lessons, universities, and the road school of hard knocks; and she brings all of these facets together to make each performance a combination of integrity, sophistication, and rock ‘n roll.
Davis has played some of the finest theaters and cruise ships to standing ovations in several countries around the world. She has toured in various tribute shows, and has had the opportunity to open stages for acts such as
America, KC and the Sunshine Band, Eddie Money, Orleans, Gary Puckett, the Village People, and BJ Thomas.
