The Chapin Family - Live In Concert

This is the kind of event that only comes around on special occasions. Award-winning multi-instrumentalist/singer/songwriters Tom & Steve Chapin present their own music of love, protest and discovery, with more than a few laughs along the way! However, this journey also includes a special Taxi ride through the catalogue of songs that made the name Harry famous! On July 16, 1981 a space was left by the tragic death of Harry Chapin, one of the world's most passionate, political, prolific and inspiring songwriters of the 20th century. Twenty-nine years later, a few friends, two of whom happen to be his brothers, thought it might be fun to get together, sing some songs, and show you that the legend is a family thing! "Big" John Wallace (a.k.a. Mr. Tanner) and Howard Fields, from Harry Chapins original band, will lend their talents to Harrys classic story songs, including W.O.L.D, Circle, Taxi, and, of course, Cat's In The Cradle. And best of all, youll meet the next generation of musical Chapins, Tom's singing daughters Lily, Abigail and Jessica (The Chapin Sisters), Jen Chapin, possessing the warmth, compassion and musicianship of her father Harry, and Steves son Jonathan Chapin on guitar. Join us for an evening full of story, humor and transcendent music.

An event to put on "my bucket list"

[longislandworks]

The Chapin Family are a very talented, incredibly gifted group of performers keeping the memory of Harry Chapin alive. He will never be forgotten. He was an incredible performer and a generous humanitarian.

I have seen this event a number of times when it has made it way to Illinois. It is a must see for the those intimately familiar with Harry's work or those that simply remember Harry from the radio with the songs like Taxi and Cat's in the Cradle. This intimate concert performance makes you feel like you've been invited (or snuck into) to a private Chapin family get together where every gets together tells stories, sing some of Harry's songs and a few of their own.
