Seeger is, of coures, the legendary folk artist, political activist, and avid environmentalist who throughout his career has demonstrated that the power of music can inspire Pete-Seeger-90th-birthday-poster change, takes center stage at Madison Square Garden with an all-star roster of performers to benefit Hudson River Sloop Clearwater. Founded by Seeger, the non-profit organization was created to protect and restore the Hudson River. “Approaching 90, Pete Seeger's great deeds shine on and continue to remind us that nothing is beyond our reach,†said Jeff Rumpf, Executive Director for Clearwater. “Clearwater thanks the many gracious musicians gathering to celebrate Pete’s life and help create the next generation of environmental leaders.†Joining Seeger for the once-in-a-lifetime concert are Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Kris Kristofferson, Richie Havens, Roger McGuinn, Ani DiFranco, Taj Mahal, Ruby Dee, Ben Harper, Peggy Seeger, and Dave Matthews, among others who perform songs inspired by Seeger’s music and activism.
