Lara Tupper and Ben Kohn present spirited interpretations of tunes from the American Songbook and musical theater. Lara studied jazz at Wesleyan University, served in Barry Manilow's back-up choir, and for six years held performance residencies in Thailand, Japan, China, and the United Arab Emirates for Hilton Hotels International. (For more details, see her autobiographical novel, A Thousand and One Nights.) Ben first sat in front of a piano at the age of six, after his parents picked it up at a thrift shop. He studied jazz piano at Berklee College of Music and performs at home and abroad with blues, rock, and jazz ensembles. Together, Lara and Benny present an evening of stories and show tunes designed to invigorate.

This performance is made possible by grants from the Becket and Washington Cultural Councils, local agencies supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

ONGOING: Host Lara and Bobby in your home or via Zoom for private concerts.

"Tupper has performed all over the world. Her candlelit, sultry voice evokes Joni Mitchell and Norah Jones, having a base in jazz and pop and drifting to folk. Her subtle nuances, both melodic and sung, pull you into each song."

“There is a lot of subtlety in Lara Tupper’s performances. This is much more than a CD of good songs well sung. Attentive listening will be rewarded.” – Chris Brown, Owner, Bull Moose Music

"When Bobby Sweet and Lara Tupper team up, we’re talking musical heaven." - Lisa Kristoff

“Steeped in jazz and singer/songwriter tradition, Lara Tupper and Bobby Sweet weave melodies into a tapestry of complications that sound so easy. It's not easy to do what they do. And they do it so well.” - Nate Eldridge, Producer and Creative Director, 207

"Together, Lara and Bobby complete the sounds of their admired singer-songwriters with a twist. Their music is at once soothing and invigorating." - Robert Mitchell
