The tour marks Carpenter’s return to singing both timeless hits and deep cuts from her expansive and beloved 13-album catalog after performing with orchestras in early 2014. Carpenter will be joined on stage by longtime friends Jon Carroll (piano) and John Doyle (guitars, bouzouki).

Two guitar masters, Stanley Jordan and Kevin Eubanks, perform at Mayo Performing Arts Center. This performance was rescheduled from March, when it was snowed out.
