Mary Chapin Carpenter

Mary Chapin Carpenter is a Grammy-Award winning singer-songwriter and guitarist whose style is often classified as country, yet whose style ranges from Folk and Bluegrass to Pop and Rock.

After spending years performing as a Folk singer in clubs around the Washington, DC area, Carpenter signed with Columbia Records who re-packaged her as a Country artist. After a couple of moderately successful albums, she finally hit it big with the 1992 album Come On, Come On. The album sold more than 4 million copies and won her a Grammy Award. Since her commercial peak, Carpenter has continued to release albums and actively works to support a variety of charities.
