Carpenter Shines Hartford Girl Vies On 'Miss Teen USA' Carrabba Hits 'Mark' By THOMAS KINTNER SPECIAL TO THE COURANT By ROGER CATLIN COURANT TV CRITIC FROM PAGE Dl power-chord riflage of "Hands Down," the opening track, and the jangly indie-pop feel of "HeyGirL" Carrabba also pushes himself vocally in a way we haven't heard before. He ex unrequited love and the fragility of human relationships. New band mates Scott Schoenbeck on bass; John Le-fler on guitar, organ, piano and backing vocals; and Mike Marsh on drums and backing vocals add depth to the songs with their always tasteful con Regional Society of Plastic Surgeons.

"'NipTuck' does not present the way qualified, professional, ethical plastic surgeons manage their practices or treat their patients." Tonight, the big question on the show is whether to take on a contract with stars of a porn studio.

The guitar interplay between Carrabba and Lefler is especially convincing on'-HeyGirL-and Lefler adds ornamental fills to the acoustic foundations of "As Lov-ers Go" and "Carve Your vocals highlighted a slowed-down rendition ofThe Hard Way." Her performances had a thoughtful grace, particularly when she added feeling to the affecting "Stones in the Road." She managed to be strong and sweet all at once as she sang the rousing "Almost Home," making it as evocative as the organ-laced richness of the pretty "Halley Came to Jackson." Carpenter's 19 songs included three she is working on for an album due next year, the most affecting of which was "Grand Central Station," a moving ballad about a worker living in the aftermath of the World Trade Center's destruction.

The audience soaked up the fresh tunes as intently as it enjoyed the boisterous fun of the familiar 'Passionate Kisses." The show was hardly a greatest-hits package, but Carpenter's cognizance of her audience registered when she closed with four straight tunes from her 1992 disc, "Come On Come On," including fun rolls through "I Feel Lucky" (reworked to acknowledge her recent marriage) and the punchy "He Thinks Hell Keep Her." She returned for a nice three-song encore that featured the subdued "Late for Your Life," its gentle message handled expertly enough to make it register as memorably as the rocking tunes that sandwiched it Mary Chapin Carpenter records neither as frequently nor as commercially as shedid when she was a budding country music star in the early 1990s. But the following she built in those early years remains impressively loyaL Sunday night at the nearly full ner Theatre in viliL Torrington, she lJIAr, I' touted a recep-i five audience to a diverse concert that was as noteworthy for its new material as it was for its favorites. Eliza Gilkyson opened the show fittingly, winning over the room with half a dozen evocative, folk-styled tunes. Her singing was breathy and crisply emotive in the ringing anthem "Hard Times in Babylon," and she captured the craggy desperation of Greg Brown's delivery when covering his engaging entreaty "Sleeper." Back on the road this year for an abbreviated tour after taking a rare summer off, Carpenter and her fine five-piece band led off with "The Long Way Home," its energetic vibe spiced up by the electric sound of longtime Carpenter guitarist and co-producer John Jennings. Jon Carroll's exuberantly hammered piano line fed the fiery "Shut Up and Kiss Me," and Carpenter's own tender CARRABBA night is between Will- ington, DeL, and Colle-geville, Pa.

MUSUMECI lost, but now I believe," he sings.

Lest you get the wrong idea, Carrabba hasn't completely reinvented himself or anything he's back to full-bore belting on the choruses to "Bend and Not Break" and "Several Ways To Die Trying," among others, but the full-band song structures better support his voice. He's still singing first- and second-person songs, too, but the lyrics on "A Mark" are more thoughtful than overwrought, as if Carrabba has gained some perspective and is better equipped to deal with Heart Out Yourself." Whether fans will embrace Dashboard Confessional's new sound and direction remains to be seen, and that's the dangerous part for an artist who has justfmished establishing himself. Yet Carrabba's willingness to grow and expand as a musician makes that irrelevant from, an artistic standpoint whether "A Mark, a Mission, a Brand, a Scar" sells a thousand copies or a million, if unquestionably the best album he's recorded and among the best records released this year. Justin Guarini and Jessica Simpson will perform at the event; Simpson's husband, Nick Lachey of 98 Degrees, judges (together, they star in an MTV reality series debuting in a week). Another judge is Brittany Snow of "American Dreams." lowed by an hourlong concert for grownups, "Sade: Lovers Live" (CPTV, 11 p.m.).

"The Osbournes" (MTV, 1030 p.m.) ends its second season with considerably less buzz than the first It's still MTVs highest-rated series, though.

"Tomato To-mah-to," a tomato tasting feast scheduled for Aug.

17 at Upper Forty Farm in Cromwell, has been canceled. Organizers couldn't be sure there would be enough tomatoes to satisfy the aficionados bent on sampling varieties such as Aunt Ruby's German Green and tiny cherry tomatoes called Lollipops. "The farmers did a complete survey of their crops and determined that they won't have sufficient tomatoes by Sunday for the tasting particularly with the current forecast," said Susan Chandler, director of Slow Food Connecticut and an organizer of the event "We are all very disappointed. The larger concern, of course, is how this weather will affect these and other local farms for the year," she said. For information, call 860-523)13.
