These Grammy-winners behind heartfelt hits like “The Hard Way,” “He Thinks He'll Keep Her,” and “Sunny Came Home” share the stage for an intimate performance.

  • Acclaimed songwriters (and longtime friends) Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shawn Colvin share the stage as an intimate duo, performing material spanning their vast catalogues, as well as some of their favorite songs.
  • Carpenter has recorded 12 albums and has sold more than 13 million records. With hits like "The Hard Way," "Passionate Kisses," and "He Thinks He’ll Keep Her," Carpenter has won 5 Grammy Awards (with 15 nominations), 2 CMA awards, 2 Academy of Country Music awards for her vocals, and was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in October 2012.
  • Her songs speak to the most personal of life’s details and the most universal. Ashes and Roses, the new album from Carpenter, was released June 12, 2012 by Zoë/Rounder. This is Carpenter’s 12th studio album and features a special duet with James Taylor on the track "Soul Companion." 
  • Colvin has won 3 Grammy Awards, including 2 for the hit single “Sunny Came Home,” and has been nominated for another 7. She has released 10 albums, appeared on countless television and radio programs, had her songs featured in major motion pictures, and created a remarkable canon of work.
  • In June, Colvin released her 8th studio album, All Fall Down. Recorded in Nashville and produced by her longtime friend Buddy Miller, it features a group of stellar musicians including Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Bill Frisell, and Jakob Dylan.
  • Called the "the best Cajun band in the world" by Garrison Keillor, BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet are red-hot trailblazers of contemporary Cajun music who draw from New Orleans jazz, Caribbean calypso, and more.
