Yesterday Once More is a 9-member group performing an exciting and unique live tribute show spotlighting the music of The Carpenters. Yesterday Once More focuses on performing The Carpenters hit songs as true to the originals as possible.

The Carpenters had more Top 10 records in the early 70’s than any other group. They are one of the best-selling acts of all time, having sold more than 90 million records. Their devoted fan base can now experience this beloved music in a live setting as presented by Yesterday Once More.

Yesterday Once More consists of some of the top singers and musicians from the Greater Cincinnati area. The idea for Yesterday Once More began when Tim Croucher, a life-long musician and his wife, Melanie, a church soloist, began singing together in 2014. Even though they were not performing Carpenter songs, people started commenting on the similarity to The Carpenters sound. Their first Carpenter song together was “Merry Christmas, Darling” at a family gathering. For the next few performances the Crouchers added their friend Scott Snyder, a multi-talented woodwind player well known in the Cincinnati jazz music scene, to cover the iconic sax solo. From these humble beginnings, the concept for Yesterday Once More – The Music of The Carpenters was born.

At the first performance of the new group, with Tim Croucher covering the Richard Carpenter piano accompaniments and Melanie Croucher capturing the beautiful Karen Carpenter vocals, they covered “Yesterday Once More” and established the new band’s identity. Tom Davis joined the band covering the string orchestrations and other auxiliary keyboard parts. He also nails the harmonica solo on “Rainy Days and Mondays”. With the great feedback on the performance and excitement growing over Yesterday Once More and its tribute to the Carpenters’ much-loved music, the group added two backup vocalists and three additional musicians to the group.
