May Memorial Unitarian Society 3800 E. Genesee St., Syracuse
When this family of performers comes together, magic happens. As a music-maker, Tom Chapin has maintained two long and productive parallel careers, as a respected contemporary folk artist and as a pioneer in the field of children's music. His concerts feature strong, intelligent songwriting with clear, engaging vocals and the intricate, melodic guitar work that has become his trademark. Chapin's infectious songcraft, sterling musicianship and personal warmth consistently shine through. Chapin's career spans five decades, 26 albums and three Grammy Awards. Lily and Abigail Chapin are singing, songwriting sisters known for pristine harmonies and haunting melodies. They've been compared to sister-acts of old and Appalachian family groups, yet their original songs and arrangements have a contemporary feel. "Prepare to lose your soul," says L.A. Record of siblings Abigail and Lily Chapin. Making music that The NY Times praises as "tantalizingly close to beauty," The Chapin Sisters carry on a proud family musical legacy. Since 2005 the sisters 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."

May Memorial Unitarian Society 3800 E. Genesee St., Syracuse
A portrait of togetherness and honest, defiant joy in a messy world ... American songwriters Liam Robinson (banjo, accordion, vocals) and Jean Rohe (guitar, vocals) were brought together over 15 years ago by their mutual love of afternoon song-swaps, American folk ballads, and wordplay. Since then, they've written a distinctive body of original repertoire that draws on the roots music they hold dear, and engages their versatile musical and literary sensibilities as arrangers, improvisers, poets, and producers. Robinson & Rohe deliver a powerful live show replete with effortless harmony singing, soulful grooves, playful humor, and razor-sharp lyrics.
