Pianist/composer Dan Chadburn and singer/songwriter Tom Nichols will be making their fourth appearance at Kathy Parsons' House Concert Series, this time as a benefit for Florence Food Share. Their concerts are relaxed and informal and include a piano improvisation by Dan in each half. Dan is set to release his seventh instrumental album, Held in the Light, this summer. Each of his last four albums received significant radio airplay worldwide, charting in the Top 10 of Zone Music Reporter's monthly Top 100 charts. His most recent release, Beyond Words was nominated for Whisperings’ Album of the Year as well as ZMR's Solo Piano Album of the Year.

Dan began studying classical piano at the age of nine and earned a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from Pacific Lutheran University. In 1993, he moved to London, where he earned a Masters of Music in ElectroAcoustic Composition. He returned to the U.S. in 1995 and has continued to perform and compose.

Tom released his first solo album (Trust) in 2011 and has produced the albums of many artists (including Dan) in the Washington, DC area. In addition to his work in music, Tom has had an active career in conservation and social justice issues. He is currently the Vice President of Finance and Operations for the Arcus Foundation in New York City.
