Tom Chapin coming to Norwich next weekend

NORWICH – The Chenango County Council of the Arts, Norwich, announces the final performance in the 2009/10 Peoples’ Choice Series – Tom Chapin and Friends – on Friday, May 7 at 7 p.m. in the Martin W. Kappel Theater.

Adult albums and kids’ albums, contemporary folk and pop, Tom Chapin’s music spans styles and generations.

For more than 30 years and through twenty compact discs, Chapin has entertained, amused and enlightened audiences of all ages with life-affirming original songs told in a sophisticated array of musical styles. Tom’s remarkable musicianship, great songwriting and personal warmth shine through whether he’s performing in a concert hall, an outdoor festival, a school, in front of a symphony orchestra or in an intimate coffeehouse.

Tom’s adult concerts and recordings are sparked by strong, intelligent songwriting with clear, engaging vocals andthe intricate, melodic guitar work that has become his trademark. He has recorded nine albums of adult-oriented material. The newest, Let The Bad Times Roll, was released in July 2009. The New York Times calls Tom Chapin “one of the great personalities in contemporary folk music.” He says: “Mine is not a traditional music, but it comes from a tradition. My musical heroes are people like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie who wrote and sang real songs for real people; for everyone, old, young, and in between.”
