Celebrating Bacharach

This spring, Mandy Barnett brings to the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts a tribute celebrating the timeless songs and enduring legacy of Burt Bacharach! The genre hopping singer has proven her worth singing everything from country to pop to jazz, with the distinction of having charted on the Billboard country charts as well as having topped the iTunes jazz chart. Beloved for her takes on some of the American classics such as Billie Holliday and iconic songs from Nashville, this time see her bring Bacharach's enduring music to life!

Burt Bacharach has written so many timeless songs it's hard to know where to begin. Together with lyricist Hal David, Bacharach provided the likes of Dusty Springfield and Dionne Warwick with many of their signature hits, and his jazzy, fuglehorn-heavy arrangements became known as the 'Bacharach sound'. Expect to hear many of his classic tunes, be it 'I Say A Little Prayer', Walk On By', 'The Look of Love', '(They Long to Be) Close To You', 'What's new Pussycat?', or 'Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head'.
