(
Nova York
,

-

[1]
va ser un
cantautor
i activista politic dels
Estats Units d'America
.
El seu pare, Charles Louis Seeger Jr., va ser un
compositor
i un pioner
etnomusicoleg
, investigador tant de la musica
folk
americana com de musica no occidental. La seva mare, Constance de Clyver Edson, va ser una
violinista
de
musica classica
i tambe professora de
violi
. D'un entorn familiar molt vinculat a l'art i la musica, els pares de Pete Seeger van divorciar-se quan ell tenia set anys.
Despres d'haver estudiat
periodisme
a la
Universitat Harvard
, durant anys va estar recorrent arxius i biblioteques d'arreu dels
EUA
recopilant peces tradicionals, rescatant i creant-ne de noves de forma pionera a les decades del 1950 i 1960 al seu pais. Molts dels seus
enregistraments
han esdevingut
himnes
dels moviments pacifistes i ecologistes. El seu activisme politic i la seva participacio en moviments socials el varen convertir en objectiu de la
caca de bruixes del senador MacCarthy
.
La seva carrera musical va iniciar-se la decada de 1940, en els projectes The Almanac Singers i The Weavers, on mantingue una estreta col·laboracio amb
Woody Guthrie
.
El
27 de gener
de
2014
va morir a la localitat de
Beacon
a l'edat de 94 anys.
