Mary Chapin Carpenter with Emily Barker

For nearly 30 years, Chapin Carpenter has earned the trust of her audience through her willingness to look deep into herself and share her joys and sorrows. Through her new album, “Things That We Are Made Of,” Chapin Carpenter’s music is likely to be as powerfully moving as any you have ever heard. Kent State University Performing Arts Center at Tuscarawus, 330 University Dr. N.E., New Philadelphia. 7:30 p.m. $30. www.kent.edu/tusc/pac.
