Hitting the road for the first time in more than a decade, The Chapin Sisters (featuring New Yorkers Lily and Abigail) brought their American sound straight from the USA to Middlesbrough.
As part of a twelve-date tour in the UK, The Chapin Sisters, who are part of a musical dynasty, with a Grammy award-winning father and uncle, played a fascinating set including tracks from their most recent album, ‘Ferry Boat’.
Talking about the challenges and delights of touring with young children, they asked the audience for places to visit in the North East in between gigs (Saltburn got a few nominations).
The duo’s blend of Appalachian, folk, country and rock was a winner with the audience, with the venue also helping to create a chilled-out and family-friendly vibe.
