From his early days in Greenwich Village with The Chapin Brothers to Broadway\, TV’s National Geographic Explorer\, and a remarkable body of songs for both adults and children\, his career is as wide-ranging as it is impactful. Beyond the music\, Chapin has been a tireless advocate for the environment\, social justice\, hunger relief\, and arts education.

Formed in Raleigh in 1999\, the harmony-driven band has released 11 albums\, including their latest\, Hiyo\, and earned four #1 spots on the Billboard Bluegrass chart. Known for dynamic live shows across the U.S. and Europe\, as well as appearances on Showtime’s George & Tammy\, they continue to balance innovation and tradition with grace.
