Songwriter Chapin Set to Perform at Café Arabica in Morristown

Jen Chapin is a New York-based singer-songwriter on the rise. Her 2004 Hybrid Recordings release, Linger, has earned the highest praise from sources as diverse as National Public Radio's All Things Considered, People, The Today Show, and Entertainment Weekly. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel lauded Linger as being "smart, observant, lyrically deft, politically aware and emotionally intuitive" while The Boston Globe called it simply: "addictive."

Now, 2 albums on, she is getting lit up to promote her new and highly anticipated album, 'Ready'.

She is set to perform at Café Arabica in Morristown on September 9th where she is accompanied by her trio band - including her husband Stephan Crump on acoustic bass.

New York singer-songwriter Jen Chapin shares tastes and values with her husband, bassist Stephan Crump, when they work together on various music projects.

"We always set the ground rules early on as far as not stressing one another out," she said. "We try to keep things light and fun because we can both be pretty intense. But it gives both of us this arena where we can interact and share and respect each other's work ethic and artistry."

Chapin will perform with her trio (Crump on acoustic bass, Jamie Fox on electric guitar) at Café Arabica in Morristown Friday and again Sept. 9.

"It's all about performing with people you enjoy as individuals, not just as musicians,"she said. "The trio is a really great setting for being able to listen and respond to each other. There are enough elements to have richness and variety to the sound, but there are also moments where it's sparse and almost silent. We all have a great time."
