MAY 19th IS: IT’S MY PARK DAY IN JJ BYRNE PARK

On Saturday May, 19th at 1 p.m. Old Stone House celebrates ten years of great programming with a free concert by Tom Chapin you won’t want to miss. Bring the whole family.

Adult albums and kids’ albums,
contemporary folk and pop, Tom Chapin’s music spans styles and
generations. For more than thirty years and through eighteen compact
discs, Chapin has entertained, amused and enlightened audiences of all
ages with life-affirming original songs told in a sophisticated array
of musical styles. Tom’s remarkable musicianship, great songwriting and
personal warmth shine through whether he’s performing in a concert
hall, an outdoor festival, a school, in front of a symphony orchestra
or in an intimate coffeehouse.
The New York Times calls Tom Chapin "one of the great personalities in
contemporary folk music." He has recorded seven albums of
adult-oriented material, with his eighth in progress. His concerts and
recordings are sparked by strong, intelligent songwriting with clear,
engaging vocals and the intricate, melodic guitar work that has become
his trademark. Tom says: "Mine is not a traditional music, but it comes
from a tradition. My musical heroes are people like Pete Seeger and
Woody Guthrie who wrote and sang real songs for real people; for
everyone, old, young, and in between."

SATURDAY, MAY 19th at 1 p.m. JJ Byrne Park. Fifth Avenue between 3rd and 4th Streets
