Mary Chapin Carpenter Tickets

I have been going to Mary Chapin Carpenter shows since she was playing in Red Square at Georgetown University (and still had a day job). We've never met, but she feels like an old friend, and Thursday night's show at The Birchmere just affirmed that. It was a great, loose evening of hanging out with friends and laughing a lot. Both Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shawn Colvin sounded great, and the bond between them is so strong that it embraced us all. After the show, I checked on whether tickets might be available for Friday or Saturday — they weren't.

There was as much or more talking than music when Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shawn Colvin shared the Birchmere stage; that wasn't a bad thing. During their only-them, two-hour acoustic set, their friendly banter was infectious and added depth to many of the songs they performed, solo or as duets. Colvin played "Tennessee"on demand despite not remembering all the chords or lyrics, but ended up being one of the musical highlights of the night as she fell into a more aggressive groove than that of the original recording. On the second chorus of one of her biggest hits, Chapin Carpenter exhorted the audiences to "Passionate kisses--sing along--passionate kisses--So I can feel like Taylor Swift--passionate kisses from you."Their encore entailed all covers, including Backstreet Boys' "Tell Me Why."Admitting it's a guilty pleasure, Colvin insisted, rightly, "it's a f****n good song"which led to all of us joining with them singing snippets of other f****n good "guilty pleasures,"including "Islands in the Stream"and "Daydream Believer."

Mary Chapin Carpenter only sang 3 of her songs. The two woman spent more time chatting and tuning their guitars. The other artist did most of the singing and was not very good. Definitely not worth the ticket price ,plus the drive to seminole casino

A truly incredible concert! The two of them are so funny together. Loved the music! Loved the great camaraderie of these two longtime friends. Fascinating to see their personalities come through in the banter between songs. Both extremely gifted singers/songwriters - and great guitarists! If you get a chance to see them at the Birchmere, you should go!!!!

Concert was ok. Mary acted more like a backup than a star. Shawn Colvin did most of talking and sang almost as much. I prefer to hear songs as they are recorded. No band was a drawback. Also didn’t sing all her hits. I won’t pay to see her again

Both women's voices were beautiful. When they sang together it was like the angels were singing. My only criticism is that it was a bit too laid back. While I realize they are primarily singer-songwriters, it would have been nice to hear one or two peppier songs. I did, however really enjoy the show and appreciate the talent of these two lovely women.

I really enjoyed the concert concept, and the music and friendly banter was great. Mary Chapin Carpenter's songs are timeless. And I was introduced to Shawn Colvin's music. Definitely a most enjoyable experience.

My friend and I loved seeing Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shawn Colvin together at Center for the Arts at SUNY at Buffalo. I have been a fan of both artists forever. It was a relaxed evening in which the artists talked to the audience about their songwriting methods and themselves. They sang together, and sang solo. The sound at this location is fantastic, and every seat is good! It is a wonderful place to hear a concert. Everyone there loved the show!

These two are always enormously entertaining on their own, but together they are transcendent!

I am a big MCC fan and have seen her a few times. This was a very relaxed setting. I enjoyed the music (of course), but also greatly enjoyed the back and forth with MCC and Shawn Colvin. Their voices harmonize SO WELL, and it is obvious they enjoy each other's company. Just a fun, relaxing evening listening to excellent music!

MCC and Shawn played for 2 full hours! Their voices complimented each other and their harmonies and guitar playing were spectacular! Walker Theatre is an intimate setting perfect for them! As always MMC's voice is poignant and hauntingly beautiful

Too much talk, not enough music, especially from Shawn Colvin.

We watched her "concerts from home"during COVID and this concert was as close as she could get to that intimate personal experience. The music was terrific, and her interplay with Shawn added a nice dimension- They played together, then singly intermingling their work so there wasn't the "warmup performer"type of concert. They provided some fun as well with their comments between songs. It was all I had hoped for!

What an amazing, delightful and at times hilarious performance. Mary and Shawn were casual, comfortable and totally in sync with each other. They definitely were a surprise and delight.

My wife and I saw Mary Chapin Carpenter 30 years ago and enjoyed this simple acoustic version

First off the Michigan Threater is a great place to see a concert especially one with acoustic guitars. Mary and Shawn both sounded great. The guitar playing was superb. They played songs individually and then would harmonize together. Concert was well worth it for traveling 350 miles.

The concert itself was great. Mary played many of her hits that I recognized from my era. The venue (Michigan Theater) in Ann Arbor was so cramped that my knees were smashed against the seats into the row in front of us. The seats were also narrow. I was cheek to cheek with the large person next to me. We will not be returning to that theater for events.

The concert was amazing. Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shawn Colvin were amazing and the rapport between them proved that they had been friends for 36 years. The music and song were superb and the banter between them was hysterical. One of my favorite parts was the medley of old songs from other artists (Back Street Boys, Carpenters, Barry Manilow, etc.) had my sister gasping for air and my face streaked with tears from laughing so hard. I hope both ladies continue to tour for years to come.

I did not realize this was a 'duo' Concert until it started. Shawn Colvin and MCC played off of each other perfectly. Beautiful Show. Minus the (drunk?) lady that heckled them for talking. I had wanted to see MCC since the 90's and I was not disappointed. Loved it❣️

Did not realize this would be a joint show instead of opening act. It was great though. Both Shawn Colvin and MCC still sound great, and the show was a nice mix of stories, hits, album cuts, and covers. Even if I did not know a song, the voices were so clear I could hear every word. Loved it!
