Let's make this birthday one to remember.

67 years old (Born on February 21, 1958)

Happy Birthday, Mary Chapin Carpenter! From "Shooting Straight in the Dark" to your timeless melodies that have touched countless hearts, you've always had a knack for turning life's twists and turns into lyrical gold. Your music continues to inspire us all—proving once again you're not just shooting straight; you're hitting every note perfectly.

Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, love, and endless inspiration. May your guitar strings never break mid-song (unless it makes a great story), may audiences forever sing along loudly off-key at concerts—and most importantly—may you keep shining brightly through both darkness and daylight alike!
