One of music's "most reliable and empathetic songwriters" (Pitchfork),
Mary Chapin Carpenter has sold over 16 million records over the course of her renowned career. With hits like "Passionate Kisses" and "He Thinks He'll Keep Her," she has won five Grammy Awards (with 18 nominations), two CMA Awards, two ACM Awards and is one of only fifteen female members of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Carpenter's record, One Night Lonely, was nominated for Best Folk Album at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, and in 2023 the songwriter was awarded the Poet's Award at the ACM Honors, recognizing outstanding and longstanding musical and lyrical contributions throughout her career. Most recently, Carpenter unveiled her new podcast, "Hope is a Muscle," which finds her in conversation with people from all walks of life. During its run, the podcast was in the top five music podcasts on both Apple and Spotify platforms. Earlier this year, the album Looking For The Thread, a collaborative recording with Scottish singer-songwriters Karine Polwart and
Julie Fowlis, was released worldwide. Of the album, The Arts Desk wrote, "It's only January but this is an album of the year." The 2025 tour will feature songs from Mary Chapin's entire catalog and her new album set for early summer release.
