Music & Media
NEW! Tomorrow’s Children
Pete Seeger’s first studio album since 2008′s Grammy-winning “At 89″ features 19 newly recorded songs.
When Beacon fourth-grade teacher Tery Udell invited Clearwater educator and singer Dan Einbender to teach her students about the Hudson, class sessions became songfests, and where there are songs, there’s Pete. He became a regular visitor to the kids’ classroom in 2007. The classroom gatherings and performances inevitably led to a series of recordings by Pete, Dan, musician and CD co-producer David Bernz, the children (known as “The Rivertown Kids”), as well as adult musicians, high schoolers and even 14 grammar school percussion students. Pete is on every track of the CD, singing, storytelling, playing banjo and 12-string guitar, but he shares the studio spotlight with all of his guests.
NEW! Live in ’65
A previously unreleased, sonically updated 2-CD concert set from February 1965. Performing solo – just vocals and banjo or 12-string guitar – Seeger provides his audience with historical contexts for the songs he sings, teaches lyrics and leads singalongs, and otherwise involves yesteryear’s and today’s listeners in this spellbinding concert, almost two full hours. Live in ’65 documents a “typical” Seeger show at the midpoint of a tumultuous decade in which civil rights, the Cold War, and generational conflicts were aflame.
’Til The River Runs Clear, DVD

Produced by Kunhardt Productions and aired on PBS, this 30-minute feature is a wonderful introduction to our work. DVD
Part of the American Masters series on PBS, Pete Seeger: The Power of Song is the only authorized biography of our founder. Combining never-before-seen archival footage with personal films made by Pete & Toshi Seeger, this 100-minute feature is available in two editions: Regular and Deluxe (including CD). Regular (DVD) $20 Deluxe (DVD & CD) $24.95
Grammy Award-Winning!

CD
Broad Old River 2
The Hudson River Sloop Singers, a musical arm of The Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, were the backbone of Clearwater musical offerings during the seventies and eighties. This CD captures the sound and feel of the heyday of the group. In addition to remastering the vinyl release “Broad Old River,” the original Beach Stage recording of the set in Croton Point Park that June night in 1986 has yielded five additional special songs that did not appear on the original vinyl. Lyrics available here: http://sites.google.com/site/broadoldriver2/
All proceeds from the sale of this CD directly benefit the sloops Clearwater and Woody Guthrie. CD
‘We Have a Song’
by the Walkabout Clearwater Chorus
The Walkabout Clearwater Chorus was founded by Pete Seeger to bring the message of the Clearwater where the big boat couldn’t go. They perform once or twice a month at festivals, rallies, and concerts throughout the tri-state area and beyond. Their repertory covers a wide range of folk songs, many written or adapted by their members, with themes of environmental conservation, peace, racial harmony and social justice, not to mention a few old sea chanteys. The Walkabout Clearwater Chorus is generously donating the revenue generated by selling ‘We Have a Song’ through the Clearwater catalog to us. CD

Pete Seeger and the Power of Song
Foreword by Tom Paxton; Written by Allan M. Winkler
