Singer/sognwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter [ tickets ] has lined up summer concert dates in support of "The Age of Miracles," her first studio album of all-new material in three years.
The tour gets underway June 19 in Charlottesville, VA, and continues throughout summer. Highlights include dates in New York City (6/26), Boston (6/27) and Nashville (7/16). The trek wraps Aug. 19 in Vienna, VA.
Carpenter's new studio effort, "The Age of Miracles," is due April 27 on Zoe/Rounder. The album was recorded in Nashville and co-produced by Carpenter and her longtime collaborator Matt Rollings (Lyle Lovett, Keith Urban).
In a press release, Carpenter called the forthcoming album "a personal exploration of regret and resilience but also a larger, more universal expression of wonder at the times that we are living in." Carpenter is backed on the set by a band that includes Rollings on piano and B-3 organ, Russ Kunkel on drums, Duke Levine on guitar and Glenn Worf on bass.
"The sessions were charmed, in the way that intensely creative recording sessions can be," Carpenter said. "The energy of the core band never flagged and the generosity of ideas that flowed each day were utter gifts."
The singer's previous studio release was 2007's "The Calling," which peaked at No. 10 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart.
