THIS PERFORMANCE IS SOLD OUT! Please call RoCA directly for information.
This concert in is conjunction with the exhibition The Land: Early Artists @ Gate Hill Co-op.
“The Chapin Sisters can harmonize like angels,” says Popmatters of siblings Abigail and Lily Chapin, whose recent singles “Bergen Street,” “All Through The Night” and “Wasting Your Time” were released on Lake Bottom Records.
Making music that The New York Times praises as “tantalizingly close to beauty”, The Chapin Sisters carry on a proud family musical legacy: Father Tom Chapin is a Grammy-winning singer/songwriter, legendary late uncle Harry Chapin was an artist and activist best known for his #1 hit “Cat’s in the Cradle”, and grandfather Jim Chapin literally wrote the book on how to play the drumkit.
Since 2005 these masters of blood harmony have garnered critical acclaim by forging a distinctive musical imprint in which they “wed lilting voices, dynamically complex vocal harmonies, and folk-influenced melodies to dark, wryly sarcastic lyrical content” notes Amazon in an editorial review. They have been featured in Rolling Stone, The New York Times, NPR’s Weekend Edition, Nylon, Spin, Paper, T Magazine, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post.

Music Sessions @ RoCA: Tony McManus
$20.00Out of stockMusic Sessions @ RoCA: Tony McManus Saturday, November 22 at 7:30pm
Tickets: $25 (seniors & students $20)Hailed by John Renbourn as the ‘best Celtic guitarist in the world,’ Tony Mcanus has also been listed as one of the 50 transcendent guitarists of all time by Guitar Player Magazine. Tony has both extended and transcended the parameters of contemporary Celtic music. Ranked by peers and predecessors alike alongside the guitar world’s all time greats, his fiendishly dexterous, dazzlingly original playing draws on traditions from the entire Celtic world, along with further ranging flavors such as jazz and eastern European music. Long applauded for his uncanny ability to transpose the delicate complex ornamentation characteristic of traditional bagpipe or fiddle tunes—even the phrasing of a Gaelic song—onto his own six strings, McManus is being increasingly acknowledged as a pioneering figure in bridging the realms of Celtic music and other guitar genres, performing with the likes of Alisdair Fraser, Kevin Burke, and Natalie McMaster, among others. He has come to represent Celtic music in the guitar world, making appearances at guitar specific festivals such as the Chet Atkins Festival in Nashville; the Ellnora Guitar Festival in the Kranner Center, with the likes of Pat Metheny, Kaki King, Molly Tuttle, and Steve Dawson; and he has appeared at Guitar Festivals in Italy, Australia, France, Scotland, England, and Germany. He played at the famous Ryman Auditorium in Nashville in the “All Star Guitar Night” with Béla Fleck and more, headlined by the legendary Les Paul. His ability to reach audiences unfamiliar with traditional music is amazing, even reaching into classical events such as the Dundee and Derry Guitar festival, appearing six times between the two!Learn More“Tony’s music is beyond beautiful, it’s perfect”—Tommy Emmanuel -
