Carole King’s music is woven so deeply into the fabric of American songwriting that it is almost impossible to imagine popular music without her contributions. Tapestry, the acclaimed tribute to Carole King, brings that legendary catalog to vivid life at the Riviera Theatre in North Tonawanda on June 5, 2026. If you have ever found yourself singing along to one of her melodies without even realizing you knew the words, this is the show for you.
About Tapestry
Named after the iconic 1971 album that became one of the best-selling records of all time and defined the singer-songwriter era, Tapestry is a tribute act dedicated to honoring the music of Carole King with warmth, authenticity, and genuine reverence for the source material. The show recreates the intimacy and emotional depth that define King’s catalog — from the era-defining singer-songwriter material that made her a solo superstar through the decades of extraordinary songs she wrote for herself and for other artists who turned them into massive hits. The performance captures the essence of what made King one of the most important songwriters of the twentieth century: honest, deeply felt music that speaks to universal human experience and connects with listeners on the most personal level imaginable.
The Venue
The Riviera Theatre in North Tonawanda is a 1,200-seat restored theater that provides the ideal setting for music this personal and intimate. Carole King’s songs were written to connect on a one-to-one level, to feel like a friend talking to you in a quiet room, and the Riviera’s warm acoustics and classic atmosphere ensure that connection remains front and center throughout the evening. It is the kind of room where the music finds you, rather than the other way around.
