And it was a good thing too, because the masses came out to see the folk singer/songwriter that The New York Times calls one of the great personalities in contemporary folk music. And Tom Chapin delivered. Accompanied by Jon Cobert on piano and Michael Mark on bass, Tom had the entire audience singing to songs like "Walk The World Now, Children" and even barking for a fun diddy called "Puppy At The Pound". From hosting the children's show "Make A Wish" in the mid-70s, to winning three Grammys, to staring on Broadway, to providing hunger assistance through World Hunger Year, Tom Chapin's accomplishments are as formidable as his physical stature (at 6' 7", he makes Dave look small). He has entertained, amused and enlightened audiences of all ages with life-affirming songs told in a sophisticated array of musical styles. His remarkable musicianship, great songwriting and personal warmth - shine through whether hes performing in a concert hall, an outdoor festival, a school or in an old but intimate mansion. His musical heroes - including Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie - wrote and sang real songs for real people; for everyone, old, young, and in between. For more on Tom Chapin, go to www.tomchapin.com.
