On the site: We love when to check out the music scene below Canal Street, and have found some of our recent favorite artists thanks to the slew of performance venues in the neighborhood. When we heard about an upcoming performance presented by the @schimmelcenter featuring Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter and guitarist @tomchapinmusic and his daughters Lily and Abigail— @chapinsisters , we had to learn more. Set for this Friday, April 20, 2018 at 7:30 p.m., the concert coincides with the debut of the album, At the Turning Point, which celebrates the thirty years of collaborations between Tom Chapin & Friends. The Chapin Sisters additionally will perform songs from their forthcoming recording, Ferry Boat. We spoke with Tom himself to get his thoughts on the upcoming show, and his favorite NYC spots... #lifebelowcanal
