Tom will be joined on stage by his band members, Mark and Cobert. Mark will be on bass guitar, con- certina and vocals. Cobert will be on piano, accordion and vocals. Music has been part of Tom’s world ever since he was young. His dad, Jim Chapin, was a legendary jazz drummer, who died July 4, 2009. When Tom was a little boy, he would watch his dad making music and said it was “the greatest delight.” He said his dad is probably the reason he and his two brothers, Harry and Steve, became perform- ers. The brothers started out playing American folk songs together as the Chap- in Brothers. Eventually, they all branched off into sepa- rate musical careers. Tom also learned lessons that shaped his musical ca- reer from his brother Harry, who died in 1981. Harry taught him how to make a concert enjoyable and the delight of song writing, but most of all he taught Tom the power of song. “There are not a lot of sit- uations where a lot of people are in the same room doing the same thing,” Tom said. “A concert is one of those places where everyone is on the same page. During a concert, the singer and the audience are connected. Words convey ideas. Music conveys emotion. A good song puts them together.” I n 1988, when Tom Chapin’s daughters, Lily and Abigail, were 6 and 8 years old, he could not find any music that fi t their age group. They had grown out of music for toddlers, but were not yet mature enough for the pop music on the radio. So, he decided to record music that his daughters and other children in their age group could enjoy. He wrote the album “Family Tree” with Michael Mark, John Forster and Jon Cobert. Ever since, he has been booking family concerts. by Kelly Petryszyn | Staff writer See CHAPIN, Page 4 Photo courtesy of Sund a n c e M u s i c From left to right: Tom Chapin, Michael Mark, Jon Corbet by Alison Matas Staff writer Cheryl Dorsey will be speaking about an uncom- mon “breed” of leadership at 10:45 a.m. today at the Amphitheater.

“I never expected it to be this fun,” Tom said.
Tom will perform at 8:15 p.m. tonight in the Amphi-theater as part of the Family Entertainment Series. His performance is a Commu-nity Appreciation Night, which means that evening Amphitheater tickets for the general public are dis-counted to $18.

“Hopefully, good times will be had by all,” he said.
Tom will be joined on stage by his band members, Mark and Cobert. Mark will be on bass guitar, con-certina and vocals. Cobert will be on piano, accordion and vocals.
Music has been part of Tom’s world ever since he was young. His dad, Jim Chapin, was a legendary jazz drummer, who died July 4, 2009. When Tom was

What does jazz music have to do with leadership? According to the Rev. Otis Moss III, it provides a mod-el for change in a multicul-tural, 21st century society.
Moss, senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, will deliver a lecture titled “A Love Supreme: Jazz, Jus-tice, Democracy and Re-demption” at 2 p.m. today in the Hall of Philosophy. To fi t into this week’s In-terfaith Lecture Series topic, “The Ethics of Lead-ership,” his lecture will explain how leaders of the future can learn from these themes.
