The Chapin Sisters October 15, 2010

The Chapin Sisters, Abigail and Lily Chapin, are singing, songwriting sisters who have been performing under the name The Chapin Sisters since 2004. They are known for pristine harmonies and haunting melodies that have gained comparisons to sister acts of old and Appalachian family groups, yet their songs and arrangements have a very contemporary aspect, with elements of pop, blues and psychedelic rock. Their first full-length record, Lake Bottom LP was collaboration with their other sister, Jessica Craven, who is now taking a leave of absence to spend time with her new baby. Produced by Thom Monahan (Lilys, Devendra Bandhart, Vetiver) and Mike Daly (Whiskeytown, Grace Potter), the record was critically acclaimed and was named on of the LA Weekly’s Top Ten Records of 2008. Since graduating from college and pursuing music professionally, the sisters have recorded vocals on many albums, Vetiver, Lavender Diamond, Gary Loures, Ann Magnusen, Will Oldham and Marie Sioux, among many others. In the spring of 2010, Abigail and Lily will set out on tour with SHE & HIM (Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward) as members of their band.

Also playing is NEeMA.
