Ach, kijkt er nog wel eens iemand hier ? Nou vooruit ik doe er eentje op de zaterdagochtend: een dame waar niemand hier ooit van gehoord heeft maar groot is in de VS.

Carpenter was born in Princeton, N.J. in 1958 and lived in Japan from 1969 to 1971 before moving to Washington, D.C. Carpenter’s early musical loves included The Mamas & the Papas, Woody Guthrie, The Beatles and Judy Collins.

Carpenter grew up playing the guitar and between college years at Brown University she would play local bars and clubs in the Washington, DC area.
After graduating from Brown in 1981, Carpenter continued playing and being a part of Washington’s music scene, where she met guitarist John Jennings, who would become her co- producer and long-time collaborator. Within a few years, she recorded a demo tape that led to a deal with Columbia Records where she spent nearly 20 years and sold over 13 million albums.
