 Nashville, TE (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Chip Taylor - notable almost as much for his superlative family as for being one of the most-heard songwriters in modern history - will bring a part of that family on stage this month, as his brother Jon Voight joins for two special performances in NYC and DC. The shows are: December 13 at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA, and December 14 at the Living Room. Chip, songwriter of "Wild Thing" and "Angel of the Morning," will be performing songs from his extensive catalogue (and as Chip puts it, "kibitz" with Jon throughout the show) but a special focus will be his new album 'Yonkers, NY'. On 'Yonkers' Chip tells the tale of his upbringing in the NYC suburb with brothers Jon and Barry (a world renowned volcanologist), who get a special shout out on affectionate album standout "Bastard Brothers," and his mom and dad, a golf pro who had his son's convinced he was an FBI agent until their teens.

Therefore, we have all the more reason to treasure them." https://www.shorefire.com/clients/ctaylor https://www.trainwreckrecords.com/chip.html
