Event
Peggy Seeger
Daughter of composer Ruth Crawford Seeger and ethno-musicologist Charles Seeger, and sibling to Pete and Mike, Peggy Seeger grew up well-schooled in American folk and European music traditions. She learned to play piano, guitar, five-string banjo, autoharp, dulcimer, concertina, and cut her first record at age eighteen. After several decades living and performing in England with the late Ewan MacColl, Peggy continued to tour the world with her amazing repertoire of traditional Anglo-American music as well as her own well-known activist songs, such as the feminist anthem "Gonna Be an Engineer" and "The Ballad of Springhill," which is starting to become thought of as a traditional ballad.
Peggy has one foot in the past and another in the present and is always walking towards the future. At this point in her life, the future calls for retirement from her decades of international touring. Tonight's concert will be Peggy's final performance in the Capital Region.
