About this concert
In the long rich history of Family Groups in American Roots Music, THE CHAPIN FAMILY has a special place. When these singers, songwriters and extraordinary live performers come together, magic happens. Tom Chapin, Steve Chapin, Jen Chapin, and The Chapin Sisters (Abigail Chapin and Lily Chapin) are all powerful musical artists who have active careers and multiple recordings, who just happen to be related, and who love making music together. Harry Chapin (1942 - 1981) was one of our most passionate, political, prolific and inspiring songwriters. Two generations of the musical Chapin Family will gather to bring the songs of Harry Chapin to life. Backed by The Harry Chapin Band (including Big John Wallace and Howard Fields), the Family will perform Harry’s classic songs, including Cat’s In The Cradle, Taxi, Mr. Tanner, Mail Order Annie, W•O•L•D, and Circle. To honor Harry’s commitment to fighting hunger, we will have a Food Drive in connection with this concert. The audience is encouraged to bring non-perishable food items, which will be donated to a local food bank. Experience iconic performances and timeless hits from Harry Chapin’s Greatest Stories LIVE. Don't miss this unforgettable night of music!

The Chapin Sisters Biography
The Chapin Sisters are two sisters from New York whose unique blend
of traditional folk harmonies and indie rock moodiness (think Crosby
Stills and Nash meets Cat Power) have been winning them an increasing
number of fans.
Though the girls have been singing together informally for years, the
Chapin Sisters started as a group only two years ago. One night the
sisters started playing three part harmony renditions of new wave and
punk songs they'd listened to growing up. The result was so satisfying
they decided to scrape together some cash and record six covers
ranging from Neil Young to Culture Club. Abigail Chapin packed up her
life in New York and moved to LA, Lily Chapin quit her busy film job,
and Jessica Craven welcomed them to LA. (All have the same mother,
Bonnie Chapin - though while Abigail and Lily are daughters of folk
singer Tom Chapin, Jessica's father is director Wes Craven.)
