“Just Wild About Harry” Chapin Concert Set for July 16

More than three-dozen of Long Island’s top musicians and songwriters will take to the stage at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow to perform the music of Harry Chapin, the late Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and social activist, on Sunday, July 16, starting at 3:30 p.m. and extending late into the evening. The annual “Just Wild About Harry” tribute concert will feature 25 or more acts -- including concert organizer Stuart Markus and his trio Gathering Time -- performing some of Chapin’s classics including “Taxi” and “Cat’s in the Cradle,” plus many lesser hits and fan favorites like “WOLD” and “Story of a Life.” The concert is free, but concertgoers are asked to bring donations of nonperishable food to support Long Island Cares, Inc., the regional food bank founded by Chapin in 1980.
