Mary Chapin Carpenter Tickets

MCC was fabulous! Loved the acoustic set and storytelling!

The concert was billed as Mary Chapin Carpenter with Shawn Colvin which implied that Shawn Colvin would be opening and we expected that they would have a backing band or bands. Instead, it was a duo tour where it was just the two of them sharing songs equally with easy chairs to create the feel of being in their living room. That was nice but not what we expected. Others in the audience seemed to enjoy the intimacy of having the two of them share stories and songs so I guess we were just out of the loop. We also didn't expect the 50-60 year-old women in the audience to be whooping and hollering like teeny boppers which was a bit annoying. It was our first time to see a concert at the Buckhead Theater and we found that there were rows of individual chairs set up with just the chairs on the aisle numbered which made it a little confusing to find seats.

The interaction between Mary & Shawn and their interaction with the audience added to overall enjoyment. Both women have beautiful voices and their choices of songs were superb. The encore was humorous and thoroughly enjoyable.

Just so much talking and very little singing. I get some interaction with the crowd but oh my word. Left over an hour in and there had been a total of 8 songs and only one was a true Mary Chapin. Was so excited about this concert but will never go see her again.

How do you spell therapy? MCC!!! And w/Shawn Colvin... a double dose!! Since the 80's MCC has never disappointed!!! Be it by herself, or w/ 4 Voices, or w/ Shawn, or in the round...always leaves me with inner peace until you he next time... Not to mention the covid days via NPR...

It wasn’t what I expected. I thought Shawn Colvin would play before Mary Chapin Carpenter, and I thought Carpenter would have her band. Instead, Colvin and Carpenter played together with acoustic guitars. They played mostly songs by other artists. It was relaxing and enjoyable. Definitely a great concert from these two ladies.

It was a really intimate set. We really enjoyed the stories as much as the singing.

It was a fun night of laughter and conversation between Shawn Colvin and Mary CC. I enjoyed it a lot. I would've like a lot more singing though from Mary CC. She has sooo many good songs, and her voice is just the best. Overall, it was fun, but I think it could've been better if there was more singing. Happy I went. A good night.

I went because I'd never seen Shawn Colvin live. Sitting on the 2nd row stage right. 2 mikes, 2 chairs (which rarely got used). They started on time. They kept score of who blew the song intro, Shawn lost 3-2 in the encore. They swapped songs back and forth and sang harmony for each other. They played other artists songs, which was interesting to hear their version. I learned a lot of personal history, like they been friends for 37 years. They like to do girls tours every couple of years. They pick at each other like sisters. I will take every opportunity to see them again.

My sister has early onset Alzheimer’s. I had read that music is one of the last memories that people hang on to. We have seen Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shawn Colvin in years past. My sister was ecstatic and sang all night, and woke up singing. I will remember her joy forever.

Unbelievable duo! Had some much fun with the easy going and intimate atmosphere. Laughed and thoroughly enjoyed both artists!

I love seeing both of them on the stage with acoustic guitars, and the music was great. The harmonies were great. I wish they hadn’t talk quite so much and they had sung more. The encore was the best. The concert was a whole lot of fun.

It was my birthday, but my wife wanted to see this concert. I agreed to take her, and loved it. I hadn't heard much Shawn Colvin, but had previously heard Mary Chapin Carpenter, and loved most everything she did. The ladies were obviously seasoned performers, excellent guitarists, and enjoyed working together. The concert was a real treat.

It is always a joy just to be inside the beautiful Lyric Theater in Birmingham Alabama, and the interaction between Mary Chapin Carpenter and her companion Shawn Colvin made for a special evening. Up until the show began, I did not realize that the ladies would be performing together, so it was a pleasant surprise to see them play together and tell stories about their music and each other. I particularly enjoyed the fun they had playing some of their "guilty pleasures"at the end of the set including the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way. If I had a tiny complaint it would be that I wished they had performed a few more of Mary's hits. Perhaps "Down at the Twist and Shout"would not have been a great fit for an outfit consisting only of two acoustic guitars, but I suspect that the audience would have enjoyed it anyway, and "Shut Up and Kiss Me"would have been a wonderful addition. Either way, it was a fun evening, and I am glad that I was in attendance.

Great show. Lyric theater has good acoustics. Nice to see it thriving!

It would have been better had MCC sung more of her hits.

She seemed to be the “secondary” singer instead of the headliner, and only sang a very few of her own songs that everyone came to hear. There was way too much talking and not enough singing! I could not hear any of what was said…sound was so soft and indecipherable! Maybe she shouldn’t be touring if her health is an issue. I love her music and was very disappointed!

Beautiful harmony, terrific solos and a gorgeous venue!

What a lovely, warm, fun, honest, enjoyable experience! The Lyric was a perfect place to join Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shawn Colvin in their living room! Thank you to you both.

Great show!! I didn't realize until they came out that they were playing together and unplugged. Sound quality (in a small casino theater) was excellent. I complimented the sound guys. Again, great show, and i really appreciate the reasonable ticket prices Mary & Shawn complimented each other so well Loved it!
