Grammy award-winning family entertainer Tom Chapin will entertain people of all ages at Westminster College Sunday, April 25, at 3 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.
Chapin has received numerous awards for his work with children, including a
Grammy Award, Entertainer of the Year and Best Male Musical Artist from American Academy of Children's Entertainment, and the Parents Prize from Parent's Magazine.
Chapin's songs deliver messages that children can understand and enjoy. For example in his ode to "la difference," "Two Kinds of Seagulls," he sings about "she gulls" and "he gulls." "Good Garbage" is a hilarious homage to biodegradability, where Chapin explains why it's good that garbage smells bad.
The pied piper of children's music and his friends, Jon Cobert and Michael Mark, make their music about the joy of clutter, a princess with the hiccups, and the "accident" that turns into "acci-dump" and "acci-dope," with the message that it's okay to goof, especially when you can laugh at your mistakes.
"Music for the whole family," writes the Long Island Parenting News. "The toddlers will listen, the older kids will learn, and you will laugh. What more could you ask for?"
A limited number of tickets are available.
