Robin Kelly – Vocalist / Entertainer

Robin’s featured show is “Yesterday Once More”, her musical tribute to Karen and Richard Carpenter.  This concert can be anywhere from 30 minutes to 60 minutes in length and features the music and the memories of the Carpenters.

We loved Robin’s show!  We sang along with every song…

As I am a committed fan of The Carpenter’s songs, I went to the show not expecting to be impressed. But…WOW, was I surprised! Robin was the consummate performer and her voice is so close to Karen Carpenter’s, that I was mesmerized! Her show brought me back to those wonderful days of listening to those wonderful songs. Thank you, Robin, for a MOST enjoyable performance.   Tina R.
