Jen Chapin
Jen Chapin’s music is urban
folk — story songs that search for
community and shared meaning, powered by
the funk, soul and improvisation of the
city. Critics have hailed her work as
“brilliant.. soulfully poetic” (NPR),
“thoughtful.. worth-savoring” (People),
“addictive” (Boston Globe), “smart,
observant, lyrically deft, politically
aware and emotionally intuitive”
(Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel). JazzTimes
has called her “a first-rate storyteller”
while Relix regards her as “one of the
freshest voices singing today."
She has been featured on “Late Nite with
Conan O’Brien,” honored by the USA
Songwriting Competition, appeared on stage
with Bruce Springsteen, and opened up for
Bruce Hornsby and the Neville Brothers.
Her performances are powerful,
spotlighting the world-class musicianship
and rare chemistry of Grammy-nominated
acoustic bassist/husband Stephan Crump and
“unflappable melodist” (New York Times)
guitarist Jamie Fox.
As an activist, educator and mother, Jen
also brings the knowledge and insight of
varied experience to her workshops and
presentations to college, church and
community groups.
From student/traveler in Mexico and
Zimbabwe, a BA in International Relations,
longtime member and former Chair and
present Secretary of the Board of
WhyHunger.
Jen’s latest recording, the EP Five Songs,
will be available in Spring 2011.
