The New York Times calls 3-time Grammy winner Tom Chapin “…one of the great personalities in contemporary folk music.” Chapin is Grammy Award-winning American musician, entertainer, singer-songwriter and storyteller for both family and adult audiences. His career spans Broadway, TV, documentary and feature films, and the concert stage. With 23 recordings and hundreds of songs in his repertoire, Chapin serves up a tasty mix of story-songs, ballads, comedic and political songs, family music, sing-alongs, old time folk classics and a favorite or two of his late brother Harry.

Sponsored by New Buffalo Arts Council with a generous grant from the Pokagon Fund.

Tonic Sol-fa is an all-male a cappella quartet from the Minneapolis-St. Paul region. With a largely pop-music-oriented repertoire, their CDs have sold over 1,000,000 copies, and the group has toured throughout the US and abroad.

In the midst of touring, this quartet has been named one of the top five “must see” groups in America, has been awarded numerous original song and album awards in pop, gospel and holiday genres, appeared on NBC’s Today Show and in the pages of Newsweek magazine. Outings with Jay Leno, Shawn Colvin, and Garrison Keillor have propelled album sales to more than 2,000,000 copies (mostly sold from the back of their trailer!) and have earned the group thousands of intensely loyal fans.

The quartet has been voted into the Midwest Music Hall of Fame and has averaged over 150 shows annually in 48 states with music in radio stations and at retail stores nationwide. Recently Tonic Sol-fa’s third public television special was broadcast to over 1,800 stations across the United States. And too, the quartet won their first Emmy Award in the “Musical Composition/Arrangement” category for a song performed in a Toys for Tots PSA (Public Service Announcement).

The New York Times describes Tonic Sol-fa’s sound as “A vocal kaleidoscope…unique to the human voice.” Improvisational and passionate music combined with cutting-edge stage presence is the benchmark by which critics and fans agree: nobody does it like Tonic Sol-fa!
