(Redirected from Steve)
Steve Chapin is an American musician. Steve is the younger brother of Harry Chapin and Tom Chapin. Steve performed with Harry for much of his solo career, joining the band on a regular basis in 1975 and earlier in the studio. Steve formed The Steve Chapin Band after Harry's passing. They continue to perform, both as themselves sometimes as part of the The Chapin Family lineup. In the summer, Steve and wife Angela also run Ovens Natural Park in Nova Scotia, Canada. Ovens Park hosts the annual Chapin Music Weekend in mid-August.
Steve attended Clarkson College in 1968. One of his lecturers was future filmmaker Wes Craven. A few years later Steve and David Hess scored Craven's first film, Last House on the Left.
