Mary Chapin Carpenter and Loudon Wainwright at Wolf Trap

Last year saw “Hometown Girl” Mary Chapin Carpenter return to Wolf Trap for the first time in five years, and for the first time since recovering from a “serious medical issue that necessitated significant rest.” This year, she’ll return — with special guest, legendary folk-rocker Loudon Wainwright III (dad to Rufus). And the concert’s on a Saturday night, no less. It can’t get much better. Saturday, Aug. 27, at 8 p.m. Wolf Trap, 1645 Trap Road, Vienna. Tickets are $25 to $42. Call 703-255-1900 or visit wolftrap.org.
