JEN CHAPIN

JEN CHAPIN has been celebrated for writing “brilliant soulfully poetic urban folk music” (NPR) for more than two decades. As much as an artistic legacy, the roots of Jen's upbringing have inspired her "potent, jazzy, layered folk" (Newsday) songs and a lifetime of passionate activism, through ongoing work with WhyHunger (founded by her late father Harry  Chapin) and teaching high school global history in Brooklyn. She has  performed on stage with Bruce Springsteen, on bills with Aimee Mann,  Bruce Hornsby, and The Neville Brothers, and her rendition of Van Morrison's "Into The Mystic" was featured in an episode of the SyFy TV series Defiance. The Jen Chapin Trio includes her husband, Bassman extraordinaire Stephan Crump and guitar wizard Jamie Fox.
