content: The Pete Seeger Tribute Concert celebrates the life and legacy of Pete Seeger in honor of his 100th birthday. For over sixty years, up until his death in January 2014, he performed powerful songs and lent his energies to causes he believed in. Seeger's influence and legacy has only grown as the issues he sang about, from labor struggles to environmentalism, have become increasingly urgent. His songs define these cultural and political flashpoints to this day, unique in their ability to offer a stance that is defined by strength, clarity, and compassion.
