Harry Chapin: A Celebration in Song with The Chapin FamilyProceeds to benefit WhyHunger https://whyhunger.org/ 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, W•O•L•D, and Circle.To honor Harry’s commitment to fighting hunger, proceeds from this special NYC concert will benefit WhyHunger, co-founded by Harry in 1975. WhyHunger believes that nutritious food is a human right and advances long-term, community-based solutions towards a world without hunger.As it turns out, The Bitter End has been part of Chapin Family musical history since the early 1960s, when Harry, Tom and Steve went electric at the club as “The Chapin Brothers” soon after its opening. Harry continued to play there in the 70’s, while Jen recorded “Live at the Bitter End” with her band in the late 90s.
