Chapin Sisters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chapin Sisters are an American folk pop musical group consisting of three sisters: Abigail and Lily Chapin, and Jessica Craven. Their music blends the harmonies of traditional sister-acts with a modern lyrical sensibility. "they haunt the interstices of folk, pop, and blues, and play seductive games with the knife-edge of heartache. Their soft harmonies and dark sidelong lyrics fit perfectly into a new folk aesthetic that is more twisted than freaky…"-popmatters.com

Abigail and Lily are daughters of folk-singer Tom Chapin and their half-sister Jessica Craven's father is director Wes Craven. The sisters grew up in New York, but it wasn't til 2004 when all three had relocated to Los Angeles that they began their band, at the urging of their brother, Jonathan Craven.

They have appeared with Tom, Steve, and Jim Chapin at tribute concerts for their late uncle Harry Chapin, and have also toured nationally on their own [1]. Their slow, acoustic version of Britney Spears' song "Toxic" gained attention and limited radio play.

On March 18th, 2008 they released their debut full-length album Lake Bottom LP on the Plain Recordings label.
