Richard Carpenter's Son and His New Band

Colin Carpenter is about to make a name for himself. His father Richard is the male half of the famous Carpenters, with his aunt being the much loved Karen Carpenter

The band's called Finale and a debut album is "coming soon".

Want a taste? Here's their version of "That's Christmas To Me" originally by Pentatonix

You can go to their website for an audio and video look of what's to come now. You'll hear Colin's father's tones in his voice. Enjoy.

Love the Carpenters? Do Richard's brilliant arrangements and Karen's breathtaking vocals always leave you wanting more? There are TONS of articles on this blog including album reviews, rare photos, and more. (I was honored to be interviewed for Randy L. Schmidt's excellent Carpenters: An Illustrated Discography.)

Here's just a sampling of what you'll find:
