Mary Chapin Carpenter is an American folk and country music artist. Carpenter spent several years singing in Washington, D.C. clubs before signing in the late 1980s with Columbia Records, who marketed her as a country singer. Carpenter's first album, 1987's Hometown Girl, did not produce any singles, although 1989's State of the Heart and 1990's Shooting Straight in the Dark each produced four Top 20 hits on the Billboard country singles charts.
On April 27, Mary Chapin Carpenter returns with a new album, The Age Of Miracles, the follow up to 2008’s Christmas-themed Come Darkness, Come Night and 2007’s Grammy-nominated album The Calling. The album is due on Zoe/Rounder Records, and is the five time Grammy-winning artist’s twelfth overall. Miracles features guest vocals by Vince Gill.
