Peter Calo & Anne Carpenter

On Saturday evening, May 31, Timeless Singer Songwriters, featuring the music of Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Carly Simon and James Taylor performed by guitarist/ vocalist Peter Calo and vocalist Anne Carpenter, will play at Westchester Collaborative Theater (WCT)’s Music in the Box series at 7:30 pm. Performing classics and deep tracks alike, the duo will be supported by bassist Paul Adamy.

Calo has been Carly Simon’s guitar player and backing vocalist, musical director and occasional producer and song collaborator for the last 20 plus years. He has worked with such artists as Hall and Oates, Lorna Luft, Dionne Warwick, Queen Latifah, Willie Nelson, Andrea Bocelli, Jimmy Webb, Kris Kristofferson, Leonard Bernstein, and Lesley Gore.

Carpenter has been a presence on the New York music scene for the past decade. A songwriter herself, her songs have been recorded by Sloan Wainwright and KJ Denhert. She is also familiar to local audiences as the vocalist in WCT’s Living Music Events.

Carpenter and Calo dive into the immense library of music from Carly Simon, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon, songwriting giants who created some of the most endearing and lasting music of our time.

Carly Simon said of Calo’s recent album, “Peter Calo is the musician you meet early in your career and all of a sudden you’re 70 years old and you’re lucky enough to still be playing and writing with him. This album shows his ability to merge styles and introduce new structures and harmonies with himself singing lead vocals. Always an inspiration and always quite surprising.”

[Peter is]"one of the most engaging performers in the biz" wrote Time Out London.

Peter Calo and Anne Carpenter will play on Saturday, May 31st at 7:30 at WCT’s black box performance space, 23 Water St., Ossining, NY. Cash bar and refreshments available. Tickets are $30 per person (limited seating available).
