Tapestry: The Carole King Songbook, starring Suzanne O Davis, is North America’s premier tribute to Carole King, with sold-out, standing-ovation performances across the U.S. and Canada. The show recreates the sound and vibe of a 1970s Carole King concert, including the complete Tapestry album, plus songs from the iconic Goffin and King catalog and material from the Broadway musical Beautiful.
Carole King is one of the most successful songwriters in popular music history. As half of the Goffin and King songwriting team during the 1960s, she co-wrote more than 400 songs recorded by over 1,000 artists, including The Drifters, The Beatles, Herman’s Hermits, Donny Osmond, Aretha Franklin, The Shirelles, Bobby Vee, and James Taylor. Her own 1971 Tapestry album won four Grammys including Album of the Year, has been certified 14-times Platinum, ranks #25 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, and spent 313 weeks on the Billboard charts, second only to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.
Tapestry: The Carole King Songbook goes beyond a standard tribute approach in three meaningful ways. First, format flexibility: Carole King herself performed during the 70s and 80s in three distinct formats, solo at the piano, with acoustic musicians, and with a full band including horns. The show is offered in any of those formats, which lets buyers match the production to room size and budget. Second, catalog depth: the show presents not just the complete Tapestry album, but a retrospective of the Goffin and King songwriting catalog and Carole’s broader hits, plus beloved songs from the Broadway musical Beautiful. Third, the front: Suzanne O Davis delivers piano and vocals with impeccable attention to detail and a comfortable stage presence audiences and reviewers consistently call “world-class in every way.”
The timing matters as well. Carole King retired from regular live touring after 2010 and rarely performs publicly anymore. A credentialed Carole King tribute like Tapestry is now genuinely one of the only ways for audiences to experience this catalog live. For event organizers, that means less guesswork: this is a vetted, family-friendly, multi-generational headliner with verified Ticketmaster-ticketed touring economics, Latshaw Productions backing, and a catalog that ranks among the most culturally significant in modern music.

Tapestry: The Carole King Songbook, starring Suzanne O Davis, is widely recognized as North America’s premier tribute to Carole King. The show recreates the sound and vibe of a 1970s Carole King concert experience, following her legendary 1971 album, Tapestry. Audiences are transported back to the iconic image of her multi-million selling record, and impeccable attention to detail is taken in recreating a respectful and accurate musical presentation of piano and vocals, just as they were.
Suzanne channels the characteristics of Carole at the piano, with the comfortable stage presentation and warmth that endears her to every audience. As Suzanne puts it: “I really like to have fun and talk with the audience about the history of the songs. I think people want to feel that we’re all sharing these moments together, and we are.” Reviewers and audiences consistently describe the show as world-class in every way, with sold-out runs and standing ovations across the U.S. and Canada.
The show presents more than just the record-breaking Grammy-winning Tapestry album. It is a retrospective of the iconic Goffin and King songwriting team, which Carole formed with her husband Gerry Goffin during the 60s. That prolific team wrote chart-topping hits for The Drifters, The Beatles, Herman’s Hermits, Donny Osmond, Aretha Franklin, The Shirelles, Bobby Vee, James Taylor, and many more. Tapestry is produced by Latshaw Productions and is Ticketmaster-ticketed at performing arts centers and concert venues across the country.
