Tom Chapin (at Amazing Things)
8:00pm – Tom Chapin, live at Amazing Things On Saturday, January 17th, 2015! *** In a career that spans five decades, 23 albums and three GRAMMY awards, 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 films, television and radio. The New York Times called Chapin “”one of the great personalities in contemporary folk music,”” while Billboard called him “”the best family artist around”” and described him as “”totally captivating.”” Parents magazine stated, “”Nobody today is writing and performing better kids’ songs than Tom Chapin.”” The son of noted jazz drummer and teacher Jim Chapin and the grandson of author/critic Kenneth Burke and portrait painter James Chapin, Tom grew up in a family that encouraged artistic pursuits. He began performing professionally as a teenager in the early 1960s, playing in Greenwich Village folk clubs alongside his siblings Harry and Steve as The Chapin Brothers. In 1971, he began a five-year run as the host of the Emmy- and Peabody award-winning ABC-TV children’s series Make A Wish. Chapin and his songs were also featured in the seminal 1970 documentary film Blue Water, White Death, for which he spent six months sailing the Indian Ocean searching for great white sharks. *** Tickets: $30, Students/Seniors: $28, Members: $25, Children Under 12: $15 *** Amazing Things Arts Center, 160 Hollis St, Framingham, MA 01702 *** Use link below to order tickets online.
