And there promises to be some chuckles to boot! Tom Chapin, Uncle Floyd/John Dull and Friends will appear in the 9th concert of the storied Pete and Toshi Seeger Wetlands Preservation Series. Friends include: Ted Clancy; Martin Dull; The Dammers-Desmond Trio and Scott Petito. These seasoned acoustic notables promise to embellish “an evening of outlandish chuckles and thoughtful folk provocation.” Tom Chapin’s career spans 40 years, 3 Grammy Awards; 24 folk albums; a stint as host for National Geographic Explorer on PBS; and early band appearances with brothers, Harry Chapin and Steve Chapin. The New York Times called Chapin "one of the great personalities in contemporary folk music." His new adult CD, simply titled “70”, finds the songwriter full of vitality and brimming with excitement. New songs address current ecological issues. "I'm at that place in my life where I follow what interests me," Chapin concludes. "I still love the guitar, I still love to sing, and I still love the thrill of creation: a good song, a good recording, a good concert. I feel blessed to be my own boss, creating my own material and performing for so many different audiences, ages and generations." Chapin jumped at the chance to participate in the Seeger Series. It not only honors his personal friends and mentors, Pete and Toshi Seeger, it trumpets ideas that Chapin has stood staunchly for during his career. **************** Floyd Vivino --- Hoots explode in reaction to series co-host, Floyd Vivino, vaudevillian comic extraordinaire, who, for decades, has been tickling piano keys and funny bones.

THE SERIES This acoustic series is storied – Pete Seeger himself concertized 3 times for its environmental platform (his last concert ever in NJ was part of the series); folk mentors, Tom Paxton; John McCutcheon; Tony Trischka and scores of regional musicians have graced its stage. Environmental awards have been bestowed on artists; activists and organizations for their accomplishments in meadowland protection. The outing on the 19th of Nov will see tabled displays by several environmental groups and will award “Gateway National Park,” an environmental wonderland in NY and NJ for meadowland protection. Gateway is part of the same watershed as the North Jersey Meadowlands – these fragile habitats have been jeopardized for years by exploitative forces. “If these meadowlands were to fall, they would be lost forever. Time to include The North Jersey Meadows in Gateway,” says Dull. ---- https://www.nps.gov/gate/index.htm NOTED DIGNITARIES PARTICIPATING Tinya Seeger – daughter and caretaker of the Seegers - The Seeger family endorses the series Jeff Tittel – Director; NJ Sierra Club http://www.sierraclub.org/new-jersey NOTED SPONSORS The Sierra Club; Boiling Springs Savings Bank; North Jersey Media Group; The South Bergenite; WFDU 89.1 fm Radio; Rutherford Congregational Church WHAT: The Uncle Floyd/John Dull and Friends Show with Special Guest – TOM CHAPIN WHEN: Saturday, November 19; 7:35 pm – environmental displays open – 7pm WHERE: RCC Concert Hall; 251 Union Ave, Rutherford, NJ 07070; TIX AND INFO: early-bird $25/ $30 later Online at www.dullmusic.com Walk-up: Steve’s Coin and Stamp; 2 Franklin Place, Rutherford, NJ 07070 (Call in advance 201-935-3737) NINTH CONCERT in the Pete and Toshi Seeger Wetlands Preservation Series
