Mike Seeger

Mike Seeger has devoted his life to singing and playing Music from True Vine—the home music made by American southerners before the media age. Music from True Vine grows out of hundreds of years of British traditions that blended in our country with equally ancient African traditions to produce songs and sounds that are unique to the United States. For the peoples of the rural South, their great variety of music, song and story provided their Shakespeare, their dance music, their news, and the fabric of their daily lives. This music in time became the roots of today's country, bluegrass and popular music, and remains as ever, enduring and refreshing listening. Fidelity to traditional sounds has set Mike Seeger apart from other performers since he began touring the United States and abroad in 1960.
