Joe Schauer is a singer/songwriter from St Augustine, Fla. Considering his dedication to reviving the singer/songwriters of the early 1970's, Joe has been playing Harry Chapin's music for over 30 years and has made it a mainstay with his set lists developing a following with the eclectic purveyors of folk history. Fascinated by the story telling, Joe learned the bulk of his Chapin library while studying at Ohio University and has fine tuned his story telling, in song, to create and undeniable tribute to the golden age of music.

Joe is accompanied by Kimberly Zielinski, on the violin, who has shared a similar interest in recreating the complex orchestrations of Harry's music and is the perfect complement in developing the 'feelings and emotions' this form of story telling elicits to the listener. Joining Joe and Kim, is Lisa Mack, the original music matriarch of the St Augustine music scene...lending her piano and arranging talents to complete a formidable representation of Harry's work. (Lisa is Kim's Mom!!!! ;) )

Originally conceived on Dec 10. 2011 Joe, Kim and Lisa joined 5 other musicians in creating a tribute to Harry with a Food Drive for Second Harvest. To this date, The First Coast Cares Food Drive enjoyed the honor of collecting 17,500lbs of food(the single largest private collection in Second Harvest's history) in one weekend, culminating with a day's long performance of musicians wanting to participate for such and admirable cause. Harry said 'When in Doubt, Do Something.' We continue to do it and hope to forge a path for like/same musicians to follow. Please join us at the Larimer Center in Palatka, Florida for a celebration of Harry's music...on Harry's Birthday!! December 7th, 2019!!!
