Tom Chapin interview 9:05 am. Live On Phone. Playing Infinity Hall in Norfolk, CT on Jan. 10th 2:00pm.

Adult albums and kids’ albums, contemporary folk, and pop, Tom Chapin’s music spans styles and generations. For
more than thirty years and through nineteen compact discs, Chapin has entertained, amused and enlightened audiences
of all ages with life-affirming original songs told in a sophisticated array of musical styles. Tom’s remarkable
musicianship, great songwriting and personal warmth shine through whether he’s performing in a concert hall, an
outdoor festival, a school, in front of a symphony orchestra or in an intimate coffeehouse.

Tom’s adult concerts and recordings are sparked by strong, intelligent songwriting with clear, engaging vocals
and the intricate, melodic guitar work that has become his trademark. He has recorded eight albums of adult-oriented
material. The newest, The Turning Of The Ti d e, was released September 2006. The New York Times calls Tom Chapin
“one of the great personalities in contemporary folk music.” He says: “Mine is not a traditional music, but it comes
from a tradition. My musical heroes are people like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie who wrote and sang real songs for
real people; for everyone, old, young, and in between.”

Cities include: MilbNew York, Boston, Columbus, Dayton, Austin, Houston, San Antonio and Oklahoma City. He will kick off in on Thursday, October 16th with a presentation and signing at Merritt Books in Millbrook, NY (6pm).

Before Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl, BRIAN JACQUES dominated the world of fantasy fiction. A forefather of the genre, Jacques proved his sustainability by continuously selling millions of copies decade after decade. Even before the blockbuster world of children's literature was recognized, this crossover author was a permanent fixture on the New York Times adult hardcover list. For weeks, his publications would rank amongst the finest literary works of our time, and that tradition continues today. Redwall has sold over 20 million copies, is printed in over 20 languages and has been a bestseller for over 20 years.

This fall, BRIAN JACQUES, celebrates the next installment of the classic Redwall series with the publication of DOOMWYTE (Philomel, On-Sale: October 16, 2008) and he will also delight younger fans with new adventure in his picture book, URSO BRUNOV AND THE WHITE EMPEROR with illustrations by Alexi Natchev (Philomel, On-Sale: October 16, 2008

In 2002, the world came to know Daniel Pearl as the murdered Wall St.
Journal reporter, but many Berkshire residents knew Danny well before
his abduction and execution by terrorists in Pakistan. Daniel Pearl
began his journalism career at the North Adams Transcript and the
Berkshire Eagle and lived here 1986-1990. In addition to being an
award-winning journalist, Danny was also an extremely talented
musician. Wherever he lived, he was actively involved in the local
music scene, and wherever he traveled, he sought out local musicians
and "jam" sessions. Danny believed in the power of music to bring
people together regardless of their differences.
