Celtic Connections have secured the first Scottish show from Mary Chapin Carpenter in five years. And it’s a long overdue return to our shores for the multi-Grammy award-winner, famed for her humorous, fast-paced country-rock songs, though not afraid of more personal or socially aware material. Having worked with the likes of Dolly Parton, Joan Baez and Lucinda Williams it’s a rare chance to catch a country great.
