Born in Princeton, N.J., Carpenter got her start in the Washington, D.C. music scene and eventually signed with Columbia Records, where she spent nearly 20 years and sold more than 13 million albums. Her most recent release is 2010’s acclaimed The Age of Miracles, which earned Carpenter her 15th Grammy nomination, this time in the Best Contemporary Folk Album category. $10 per person food & beverage minimum on all table and bar seating.
