Overview
While Pete Seeger was not primarily a maritime music performer, this genre was broadly featured in his repertoire.
Peter Seeger was an American folk singer and social activist. He was a fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, and had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of The Weavers, notably their recording of Lead Belly’s “Goodnight, Irene,” which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950.
Hudson River Sloop Clearwater
In 1966, Seeger and his wife Toshi founded the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, a nonprofit organization based in Poughkeepsie, New York, that sought to protect the Hudson River and surrounding wetlands and waterways through advocacy and public education. It constructed a floating ambassador for this environmental mission, the sloop Clearwater, and began an annual music and environmental festival, today known as the Great Hudson River Revival.
Seeger participated in David HB Drake‘s Schooner Songbag album.
