In a career that spans six decades, 27 albums and three Grammy awards, Hudson Valley troubadour Tom Chapin has covered a lot of creative ground. He began performing as a teenager in the early 1960s, playing in Greenwich Village folk clubs alongside his siblings Harry and Steve as The Chapin Brothers. Over the decades his music career has encompassed both songs for adults and pioneering work for children. He has performed on Broadway as the lead in Pump Boys and Dinettes and served as host of TV’s National Geographic Explorer.In addition to his remarkable output of smart, thoughtful, funny and beautiful songs, Chapin has long been an advocate for environmental causes, issues of hunger and social justice, and a supporter of music and the arts in public schools.
Tom will accompany himself on guitar, banjo and autoharp.“Tom Chapin is at the top of his game … warm, wise, whimsical, and anthemic – and very right for our times.” (WFUV)
