In a career that spans five decades, 24 albums and three Grammy awards, the multi-talented singer-songwriter-guitarist Tom Chapin has covered an incredible amount of creative ground. In addition to his work as a recording artist and concert performer, Chapin has acted on Broadway, as well as working extensively in television, radio and film.
As a music-maker, Chapin has maintained two long and productive parallel careers, both as a respected contemporary folk artist and as a pioneer in the field of children's music. In the former role, Chapin has established a reputation for insightful, heartfelt songcraft and effortlessly charismatic live performances. In the latter role, he engages the hearts, minds and imaginations of young listeners with songs delivered in a sophisticated array of musical styles. His witty, life-affirming original songs convey positive messages about family, good food and the green earth. His latest CD, “A Light In Your Window,” features original songs, one completely reinterpreted song, a cover of a folk classic, and a beautiful song written by the late Pete Seeger (featuring The Chapin Sisters).
In addition to his musical and media endeavors, Chapin is a tireless advocate on behalf of a variety of charitable organizations. In addition to his ongoing work with WhyHunger, he remains active in a variety of environmental causes, as well as efforts on behalf of music and the arts in our public schools.
