and the Chapin Sisters"
Three-time Grammy winner Tom
Chapin and his daughters Abigail and Lily, aka the Chapin Sisters, offer 30
minutes' worth of kid-friendly music with "Mornings with Papa Tom Chapin and the Chapin Sisters." The
show streams daily weekday mornings at 11:00AM EDST on Facebook and Instagram. All episodes are archived on YouTube
Quarantined together
in the elder Chapin's Hudson Valley home, the three Chapin’s stream
live from his living room, performing songs from Tom's thirteen classic albums
of Children's Music as well as classics from the American Folk Music canon. The
show provides lighthearted but intelligent entertainment for all generations, a
perfect opportunity for families to gather and enjoy each other's company.
"I wanted to keep
busy," adds Tom, "and share these songs that I've written with my
amazing collaborators over the last 30 years. I've been a working touring
musician for more than half a century, and being stuck at home is uncharted
territory, but as always the music and a chance to sing with my daughters keeps
me sane, healthy and happy."
Tom Chapin has carved out
two parallel careers in folk music - as a gifted folk-based singer/songwriter
as well as "the Pied Piper" of family music. He started singing and
playing guitar in a trio with his musical brothers Harry and Steve, inspired by
the recording "The Weavers at Carnegie Hall." Tom released his first
solo work in 1976. Since then he's released 25 more and given thousands
of live performances, including innumerable benefit concerts. He's appeared
frequently on TV and radio, in documentary and feature films, and is a beloved
narrator of children's books.
Tom is a long-time
board member of WhyHunger, which seeks innovative "community-based
solutions to hunger & poverty," remains active in a variety of
environmental causes, and is a strong voice on behalf of music and the arts in
our public schools.
Raised in New York's
Hudson Valley, the Chapin Sisters are third generation musicians: their
grandfather was the jazz drummer Jim Chapin, their uncle the late folk
icon/humanitarian Harry Chapin, Tom's brother. They started singing
professionally at ages 6 and 8. Soon after, they began performing live at the
annual concerts for Harry Chapin's food justice organization Why Hunger.
In 2004, after
relocating to Los Angeles on a whim, they recorded a couple songs with
their half-sister Jessica. A friend passed their demo onto KCRW and almost
instantly their dark, moody cover of Britney Spears's Toxic became one of
the most requested songs at the station.

In the last decade,
the Chapin Sisters have released 4 full-length albums. They've been featured on
NPR's Weekend Edition, in Rolling Stone, Nylon, Spin, Paper, The New York
Times, T Magazine, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post and
have toured the world multiple times on their own and twice as members of She
& Him's band. After taking some time off to savor the joys of becoming
first time mothers, they wrote, recorded and released their most recent EP
Ferry Boat.
