Earl Minnis Presents and Lobero Theatre Foundation will present Mary Chapin Carpenter/Brandy Clark 7:30 p.m. Monday, June 16.
Chapin Carpenter has sold more than 16 million records over the course of her renowned career. With hits like “Passionate Kisses” and “He Thinks He’ll Keep Her,” she has won five Grammy Awards (with 18 nominations), two CMA Awards, two ACM Awards and is one of only 15 female members of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Clark, a Grammy, CMA and Americana Award-winner, is one of her generation’s most esteemed songwriters and musicians. Amid a landmark year, Clark won Best Americana Performance at the 66th Grammy Awards and Song of the Year at the 2024 Americana Honors & Awards with her hit song “Dear Insecurity,” featuring 11-time Grammy winner Brandi Carlile.
Carpenter’s 2025 tour will feature songs from her entire catalog, as well as from her new album set for early summer release.
Her record “One Night Lonely” was nominated for Best Folk Album at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, and in 2023 the songwriter was awarded the Poet’s Award at the ACM Honors, recognizing outstanding and longstanding musical and lyrical contributions throughout her career.
Most recently, Carpenter unveiled her new podcast, “Hope is a Muscle,” which finds her in conversation with people from all walks of life. During its run, the podcast was in the top five music podcasts on both Apple and Spotify Platforms.
In early 2025 the album “Looking For The Thread,” a collaborative recording with Scottish singer-songwriters Karine Polwart and Julie Fowlis, was released worldwide.
Clark’s “Dear Insecurity,” the acclaimed track from her self-titled album, was produced by Brandi Carlile and features her most personal songwriting to date.
Forbes calls the record “an Americana Masterpiece while Variety proclaims it “further clarifies that she’s one of America’s treasures.”
In addition to her work as a solo artist, Clark has written songs such as “A Beautiful Noise,” the Grammy-nominated duet performed by Brandi Carlile and Alicia Keys, and Kacey Musgraves’ “Follow Your Arrow.”
She also composed the music for the hit musical comedy, Shucked, alongside her longtime collaborator, Shane McAnally. With the show, Clark won Outstanding Music at the 67th Drama Desk Awards and was nominated for Best Original Score at the 76th Tony Awards, with “Shucked” receiving nine Tony nominations overall last year.
Variety proclaims it “further clarifies that she’s one of America’s treasures.”
