  • CD Press Release
    3 Generations of the musical C H A P I N FA M I LY pay tribute to the beloved H a r r y Chapin in A Celebration In Song This live concert recording features some of Harry's best known songs and more, and stars... Tom Chapin, Steve Chapin, Jen Chapin, Jim Chapin, The Chapin Sisters: Abigail Chapin, Lily Chapin, Jessica Craven, with Stephan Crump, Jamie Fox, Jon Cobert, Michael Mark, and members of the original Harry Chapin Band ~ Big John Wallace and Howard Fields with Ann Kim on cello Harry Chapin (1942 - 1981) was one of our most passionate, political, prolific and inspiring songwriters. Author and singer of classic songs like “Taxi,” “Mr. Tanner,” “Mail Order Annie” and “W•O•L•D.” A devastating auto accident in 1981 cut Harry’s life short, yet he left behind a body of work that his fans continue to treasure decades after his death. He is also remembered as a great humanitarian: public advo- cate and educator, fund-raiser, musician, writer, filmmaker, Harry believed in believing. Because of his extraordinary contributions, Harry Chapin was posthumously awarded the Special Congressional Gold Medal in 1987. Twenty-five years after his death, 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! This CD, record- ed live at the IMAC Theatre in Huntington, LI, commemorates an evening full of story, humor and tran- scendent music, performed by those who knew and loved him best.
