Mary Chapin Carpenter

Sunday, September 28, 2025 @ 6:00pm



McCarter Theatre Center (Matthews Theatre)
91 University Place, Princeton, NJ 08540

One of music’s “most reliable and empathetic songwriters” (Pitchfork), Princeton native Mary Chapin Carpenter has sold over 16 million records in her renowned career. With hits like “Passionate Kisses” and “He Thinks He’ll Keep Her,” she has won five GRAMMY Awards, two CMA Awards, and two ACM Awards. She is also one of only fifteen female members of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Her album One Night Lonely was nominated for Best Folk Album at the 65th GRAMMY Awards, and in 2023, she received the ACM Honors Poet’s Award for her outstanding musical and lyrical contributions.

A GRAMMY, CMA, and Americana Award winner, Brandy Clark is one of her generation’s most acclaimed songwriters and musicians. Known for songs like “Dear Insecurity” and “Follow Your Arrow,” she has earned widespread recognition for her deeply personal storytelling. Her self-titled album, produced by Brandi Carlile, was praised as “an Americana masterpiece” (Forbes), while Variety called her “one of America’s treasures.” In addition to her solo career, Clark co-wrote the GRAMMY-nominated duet “A Beautiful Noise” (performed by Brandi Carlile and Alicia Keys) and co-wrote the music and lyrics for the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Shucked.
