Dan Chapman is a folk singer, singer-songwriter and interpreter of traditional ballads, whose distinctive approach has been shaped by an unconventional path. Much of his repertoire was gathered and refined during long hours spent at the tiller of a narrowboat, navigating the rivers and canals of Britain.
The solitude and rhythm of life on the water provided an ideal setting for the careful study and thoughtful arrangement of the songs he encountered. With a deep respect for the folk tradition and a subtle, expressive style, Dan brings new life to old ballads—offering performances that are both intimate and steeped in history.
“It takes a lot of work to make your music sound as effortless as Dan Chapman’s. His takes on folk standards from across the centuries are given new life by his tender arrangements and vocals, which somehow recall the harmonies of Fleet Foxes with only one man on stage. One of the most exciting new voices I’ve heard on the folk scene in years.”
