Wouldn’t have minded…..
Pantages Theatre - Minneapolis
I honestly would have liked more of just Mary Chapin Carpenter. Shawn Colvin is great too but I REALLY like MCC. It was a grand evening, none the less.

MCC & Shawn Colvin
Pantages Theatre - Minneapolis
Too much talking and not enough singing! Wanted to hear more of MCC’s hit songs, rather than all of the cover songs they played!!

Good Show - Living Room Nice touch
Birchmere - Alexandria
Birchmere is always a great venue. 1st show been to since before pandemic. Mary and Shawn put on a good show. I just thought that Shawn had more 'time' at the mic than Mary did. Duos were good and the chatter was fun.

Carpenter & Colvin Are The Best!
Birchmere - Alexandria
Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shawn Colvin are national treasures. Friends for more than 36 years, the singer-songwriters spent almost two hours at every show regaling the audience with a mixture of their own songs, works from other artists they admire, and funny stories about themselves and each other. Part concert, part comedy act, their shows are fun, touching, and filled with amazing singing and playing by two world-class artists. Go see them when they tour again.

Compelling Performance
Birchmere - Alexandria
Shawn Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter are national treasures. Their solos and duet performances were sensational. If you can, see them individually or, preferably, together.

Excellent show
Birchmere - Alexandria
Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shawn Colvin put on an excellent show with their terrific musicianship. It was just the two of them playing acoustic guitars and, of course, singing, and it was low key while at the same time upbeat. They were funny when talking to the audience and held everyone’s attention with their anecdotes. You didn’t have to be a hard core fan or expert on their music to have a great time, but the true fans really seemed to enjoy themselves.
Mary Chapin Carpenter has recorded 12 albums and has sold over 13 million records. With hits like ‘Passionate Kisses’ and ‘He Thinks He’ll Keep Her’, Carpenter has won five Grammy Awards (with 15 nominations), two CMA awards, two Academy of Country Music awards for her vocals and was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in October of 2012. Her songs speak to the most personal of life’s details and the most universal. Ashes and Roses, the new album from Carpenter, was released June 12, 2012 by Zoë/Rounder. This is Carpenter’s twelfth studio album and features a special duet with James Taylor on the track ‘Soul Companion’.
