(UNION, NJ) -- Kean Stage presents Harry Chapin's Greatest Stories LIVE featuring the Chapin Family on Friday, January 24, 2025 at 7:30pm. In the long, rich history of Family Groups in American Roots Music, The Chapin Family has a special place...
When these singers, songwriters, and extraordinary live performers come together, and magic happens. Tom Chapin, Steve Chapin, Jen Chapin, and The Chapin Sisters (Abigail Chapin and Lily Chapin) are all powerful musical artists who have active careers and multiple recordings, who just happen to be related, and who love making music together.
Harry Chapin (1942 – 1981) was one of our most passionate, political, prolific and inspiring songwriters. Two generations of the musical Chapin Family will gather to bring the songs of Harry Chapin to life. Backed by The Harry Chapin Band (including Big John Wallace and Howard Fields), the family will perform Harry’s classic songs, including Cat’s In The Cradle, Taxi, Mr. Tanner, Mail Order Annie, W•O•L•D, and Circle.
Tickets range from $49-$69 and are available for purchase online. The show takes place in the Wilkins Theatre (1000 Morris Avenue) in Union, New Jersey.
To honor Harry’s commitment to fighting hunger, they will have a Food Drive in connection with this concert. The audience is encouraged to bring non-perishable food items, which will be donated to the Kean University Wellness Center and Cougar Pantry.
Experience iconic performances and timeless hits from Harry Chapin’s Greatest Stories LIVE. Don’t miss this unforgettable night of music.
