Karen Carpenter in Branson

05/15/2022

Have you ever wanted to send a singing telegram to someone for a special occasion? I do these with any Karen Carpenter song you choose. Need a new and creative gift for a newlywed, birthday person, or any special occasion? Call me 📞 (314)737-0014

Choose your day, time and Carpenter song. I will drive and deliver your special song/songs. I charge $25/$10 additional song, plus mileage and will travel up to 2 hours from St Louis Missouri area to deliver your personal song! If you choose for me to do a personal live video then it's a flat rate without mileage! But in person is best ;)

I realize that with this pandemic, it's hard to commit to a Christmas Tour this year. Many are hesitant. I completely understand. I've decided to put the tour off until next Spring. I will do 2 tours next year. One in April/May and the other will be a Christmas tour the week before Thanksgiving. If everything goes as planned, I will also be returning to Branson for my show! I will let everyone know as soon as I do! ;)

Due to some health issues, I will not be performing in Branson this year. I have some self-care needed while I re-coupe. I intend to be able to be back next year for a short Cbristmas season and I will post here with dates and a theater! Sorry to disappoint those who planned to come out for the show this year. It's very sad for me but I feel like I will be back stronger and better than before ❤

This is what they are saying about the Karen Carpenter Tribute Show....

" Karla Matson's treatment of Carpenters music is excellent! Her range, expression, and nuances are hauntingly close. For 28 years, Karen, we've prayed for someone with a voice like yours. Karla is very close, Karen, very "Close to You". ~Carl Baxter, M.A. Music

"When I hear Karla Matson sing her songs, I honestly feel like I am back in my mothers kitchen listening to Karen with my mom!" ~MIchelle

"An older, wiser version of this Karen Carpenter classic, something gritty and moving beyond the lovely song." ~Penny Allen, Musician

"Karla Matson sang at my wedding. When people speak of that day they don't remember my dress, the ceremony or the feast afterwards, but they remember her beautiful voice. Thank you Karla, you sing like an angel!" ~Marie Wagers, Author, "Divorced Virgin, Mother of Two"

"Listening to Karla sing sounds just like I was listening to Karen Carpaenter herself! Wow! ~Holly

Come and see why people are talking about this show!

I'll be going to Branson before the end of the year to do a show specifically to record the show for distribution and advertising. I'd like to invite anyone who like to come and be in the audience when I record. Admission will be $5. Everyone who comes will receive 4 free tickets to pass out to friends to come to the show either for summer or for my Christmas show! I'll have a date for this recorded show soon! Stay tuned! Post a comment if you'd like to attend 🤗

My Branson Tour is coming together nicely! All shows are booked! Here is the Line-Up:

HUGHES BROTHERS CHRISTMAS SHOW
This show is all Christmas and features the Entire Hughes Family along with their kids, performing! An amazing sight and multi-talented family!

GRAND JUBILEE
This is some of the best vocals you will hear in Branson! Professional, talented and funny!

COMEDY JAMBOREE
You will laugh your socks off, I promise! The name speaks for itself. More laughter comes from this show than any other theater!

SANDERS FAMILY CHRISTMAS
This talented family is raved about and groups come to Branson exclusively just to see this show every year! A down home music show with a story to tell.

DUTTONS
This family is talented beyond the normal entertainment in Branson. They were finalists on America's Got Talent and have been the number 1 Show in Branson 2 years in a row! Can't miss it!

ANDY HUGHES CHRISTMAS
Featuring Jimmy Osmond, (The greatest showman ever!) The Lennon Sisters and AYO, also known as the Voices of Glory. Outstanding!

THE BRETTS
Another top show in Branson that can't be missed! This family is talented, inspired, and patriotic. There is only 5 of them but their sound is like a choir!

If you would like brochures on any of these shows, let me know and I can send them out. These are some of the best shows in Branson and you will not be disappointed!
These shows are handpicked especially for this group and the best part of it is of course your tour guide... Me! 😉

***Tour prices will be finalized and posted here by August 1st.
Git yer giddy up on and tag along! This is the best fun in Missoura! Lol
