With hits like \u201cPassionate Kisses,\u201d \u201cI Feel Lucky,\u201d and \u201cHe Thinks He\u2019ll Keep Her,\u201d Mary Chapin Carpenter has won five Grammys\u00ae (with 16 nominations), two Country Music Association Awards, and two Academy of Country Music Awards. She is one of only 15 female members of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.\u202fOver the course of her acclaimed career, Carpenter has sold more than 16 million records.\u202fIn 2020,\u202fshe recorded two albums: <\/span>The Dirt And The Stars<\/span><\/i>, released in August 2020, and <\/span>One Night Lonely<\/span><\/i>, recorded live without an audience at the legendary Filene Center at Wolf Trap in Virginia during the COVID-19 shutdown and nominated for the 2022 Grammy for Best Folk Album.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Pitchfork <\/span><\/i>has called Carpenter \u201cone of country music\u2019s most reliable and empathetic songwriters,\u201d but early in her career, <\/span>Rolling Stone<\/span><\/i> noted that she was an \u201cunlikely country star,\u201d saying, \u201cAn Ivy League graduate (of Brown University) who counts Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell among her chief musical influences, Carpenter played coffeehouses in the Washington, D.C., area, and has always emphasized lyrical substance over image.\u201d <\/span>The New York Times<\/span><\/i> describes her music as \u201can unclassifiable hybrid of pop, folk and country that she performs in the low, steady voice of someone confiding her thoughts in a journal,\u201d adding, \u201cCarpenter\u2019s near-contralto is a calm, womanly voice that conveys a very grown-up mixture of resignation and perseverance. It is a voice made to engage in hushed heart-to-heart all-night conversations about things that really matter.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Of <\/span>The Dirt And The Stars<\/span><\/i>\u2014produced by\u202fEthan Johns\u202f(Ray LaMontagne, Paul McCartney, Kings of Leon) and recorded entirely live at Peter Gabriel\u2019s Real World Studios in Bath, England\u2014Carpenter quotes the writer Margaret Renkl. \u201c\u2018We are all in the process of becoming.\u2019 That doesn\u2019t stop at a certain age,\u201d Carpenter says. \u201cTo be always a student of art and music and life, as she says, that, to me, is what makes life worth living. The songs are very personal and they\u2019re difficult in some ways\u2014and definitely come from places of pain and self-illumination, but also places of joy, discovery, and the rewards of self- knowledge. They arrived from looking outward as much as inward, speaking to life changes, growing older, politics, compassion, #MeToo, heartbreak, empathy, the power of memory, time and place. There are many themes, but they all come back to that initial truth that we are all constantly \u2018becoming\u2019 through art and expression.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Leyla McCalla<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Leyla McCalla is a New York-born Haitian American living in New Orleans, who sings in French, Haitian Creole, and English and plays cello, tenor banjo, and guitar. Deeply influenced by traditional Creole, Cajun, and Haitian music, as well as by American jazz and folk, her music is at once fresh and soulful, while resonating across three centuries of history. In addition to her solo work, McCalla is a co-founder of Our Native Daughters (with Rhiannon Giddens, Allison Russell and Amythyst Kiah) and was formerly the cellist for the Carolina Chocolate Drops. McCalla\u2019s current project, <\/span>Breaking the Thermometer to Hide the Fever<\/span><\/i>, is a multidisciplinary music, dance, and theatre work\u2014commissioned by Duke Performances\u2014exploring the legacy of Radio Haiti-Inter, Haiti\u2019s first independent radio station to broadcast news in Haitian Kreyol, the voice of the people, until the assassination of the station\u2019s founder, Jean Dominque. Her new album based on this theatre work and the stories she uncovered during its creation is available via ANTI Records.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Masks Required<\/strong><\/p>\n The tour rider for this artist requires that all audience members wear face masks for the duration of the performance.<\/p>\n Performing artists rely on touring for their livelihood, and it is important for them to do so safely.
