Special to the Town Crier

Music for Minors kicks off its 25th anniversary Oct. 16 with a concert by Grammy-nominated folk singer Tom Chapin.

The concert, geared to adult audiences, starts at 8 p.m. at Gunn High School's Spangenberg Theatre in Palo Alto (Arastradero at Foothill Expressway).

Reserved tickets are on sale at the Peninsula Box Office 322-3100 for $18 and $15, and at the door (if available). Concert profits maintain the Music for Minors program.

Chapin is known for strong, intelligent songwriting, clear, engaging vocals and intricate guitar work.

"Mine is not a traditional music, but it comes from a tradition. My musical heroes are people like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie, who wrote and sang real songs for real people; for everyone, old, young, and in between," Chapin said.

Music for Minors is a non-profit organization which trains volunteer docents to teach music weekly to over 6,000 elementary school children from Burlingame to San Jose to Fremont.
