Show # 2 for 2025 celebrating what would have been Harry's 83rd birthday on December 7!
The annual “Just Wild About Harry” Chapin tribute concert performed by Long Island songwriters and original bands will perform for the third time at Landmark On Main (Jeanne Rimsky Theater) in Port Washington, NY. Hosted by Stuart Markus.
Several acts TBA -- comprised of nearly three dozen of Long Island’s top musicians and songwriters -- will take to the stage to honor the late Grammy Award-winning songwriter, humanitarian and anti-hunger activist. They’ll perform his breakthrough hit, “Taxi,” his best-known song “Cat’s in the Cradle,” fan favorites like “Flowers Are Red” and “Mr. Tanner,” and some of Chapin’s more obscure songs as well.
Concertgoers are asked to bring donations of nonperishable food to support Long Island Cares, Inc., the regional food bank founded by Chapin in 1980.
All the performers are pro-caliber full-time and part-time musicians who perform regularly at local venues and/or tour on the folk circuit. They have always been encouraged to treat the songs as their own -- however they imagine them. The results have been some very creative interpretations!
Long Island Cares’ staff and volunteers will be collecting donations of non-perishable food in the theater and also selling t-shirts and Harry Chapin CDs, as well as distributing literature about the nonprofit organization’s programs and services.
Tickets will be announced soon & listed on
