Mary Chapin Carpenter spent her childhood moving around with her family, ending up in Washington, D.C., in 1974. Carpenter picked up a guitar shortly after her mother did during the peak of the folk music scene in the 1960s. After graduating from Brown University, Carpenter became deeply rooted in the Washington folk scene, which was the launching pad to her success over the years. Fans who get Mary Chapin Carpenter tickets can see the songstress perform famous tunes like "Down at the Twist and Shout" and "Never Had It So Good."
By 1987, Carpenter was signed to Columbia Records, where she released her debut album Hometown Girl. After her sophomore release, State of the Heart, Carpenter became a cult success with progressive country and college radio stations. But it was the twangy, honky-tonk album, Come On Come On, that launched her into the national spotlight. The album possessed all the characteristics that would later definer her work, humorous, quick country-rock songs including "Passionate Kisses," a cover of Lucinda Williams. With the success of Come On Come On Carpenter began writing songs for talented artists including Joan Baez, Cyndi Lauper and Wynonna Judd.
Mary Chapin Carpenter has had songs in Hollywood flicks, including "My Best Friend's Wedding," "Fly Away Home" and "Bye Bye Love." Throughout the 2000s, Carpenter has remained active with Zoe Records, releasing Between Here and Gone, The Calling and Come Darkness, and Come Light: Twelve Songs of Christmas.
