One of the most brilliant and original composers in history, Claude Debussy was born 150 years ago this fall.

By combining folk, country, acoustic, rock and blues, Mary Chapin Carpenter defies the conventional boundaries of the music industry. A five-time Grammy Award winner, she has always professed a love for all kinds of music, and those influences come together in songs that speak to the most personal of life’s details as well as to the most universal. Carpenter’s newest album, Ashes and Roses, was released in June on Zoë/Rounder Records.
