Beloved singer/songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter has called the DC area home for nearly 30 years, and her performances at Wolf Trap have become a tradition for audiences. Best known for her hits “Passionate Kisses,” “Down at the Twist and Shout,” “I Feel Lucky,” and “He Thinks He’ll Keep Her,” Carpenter and her band return to the Filene Center stage for an evening of her new and classic hits.
