Oct 3 – Harry Chapin: A Family Celebration Reg Lenna Center for the Arts, Jamestown NY. “Harry Chapin: A Family Celebration, will unite the late singer-songwriter’s brother, nieces and touring bandmates in a concert that has been three decades in the making. …In a June 1981 concert (the first live show on the then ‘Palace’ stage in 25 years), Harry Chapin performed on a decrepit stage under a leaky roof to an enthusiastic and umbrella-carrying audience. Before the end of the show, Chapin pledged to return to Jamestown for a fundraiser if the community committed to restoring the theater. Harry Chapin was tragically killed in an auto accident a month later, but the movement had already begun. In less than ten years, the Palace had been restored to its former glory and re-christened, The Reg Lenna Civic Center.”
