Biographical Note

Born in New York City in 1933, Mike Seeger has devoted his life to collecting and performing music of the rural South. His father, Charles Seeger, was a musicologist, and his mother, Ruth Crawford Seeger, a composer, educator, and arranger of folk songs. Along with his siblings, Peggy, Penny, and half-brother Pete, Seeger grew up with music and politics at the very root of his home experience. He began playing the guitar at age 18, and, during his career as a traditional folksinger, he also played banjo, fiddle, jaw harp, mouth harp (harmonica), quills, lap dulcimer, mandolin, and autoharp.

In the mid-1950s, Seeger began attending and recording bluegrass performances at clubs and country-music parks near Baltimore and Washington, D.C. These venues, such as the New River Ranch near Rising Sun, Md., proliferated in a region where transplanted southerners had moved to find employment.

In September 1958, Mike Seeger, along with John Cohen and Tom Paley, formed the New Lost City Ramblers. This band was an integral part of the folk revival in the 1950s and 1960s. Contrary to the smooth, modernized version of traditional music being sung by urbanites, the New Lost City Ramblers made a conscious effort to perform the more "authentic," unrefined style attributed to rural tradition. By studying the commercial recordings of hillbilly music recorded in the 1920s-1940s, bluegrass of the post-war period, and field recordings in the Library of Congress, members of the Ramblers immersed themselves in traditional music. They began to visit traditional musicians who had made the early recordings, and often these musicians appeared on stage with the New Lost City Ramblers during their performances. Seeger eventually produced numerous field recordings and videos for documentary use and later organized tours featuring traditional musicians. He also conducted interviews with many older rural musicians.

Throughout his career, Mike Seeger created a musical legacy that fused the past with the present and preservation with presentation of traditional music. Through his tireless efforts as a performing musician and documentarian, Mike Seeger helped make the music of working class people more accessible to a vast audience far beyond its rural southern roots.

Collection Overview

The Mike Seeger collection consists of 422 open reel tape and 7 DAT audio recordings from 1955 to 2002, along with supporting logs. These early field recordings of Seeger's are invaluable documentation of old-time music and bluegrass music from that era.

The audio recordings include both live performances and Seeger's interviews with many notable bluegrass and old-time musicians; master tapes from various LP recording projects; and recordings of Seeger's own band, the New Lost City Ramblers. Of particular interest are live concert recordings featuring such musicians as the Stanley Brothers, Alex Campbell and Ola Belle Reed, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, Bill Monroe and Charlie Monroe (the Monroe Brothers), Buzz Busby, the Osborne Brothers, the Louvin Brothers, J. C. Sutphin, Ernest V. Stoneman, Don Reno, E. C. Ball, Wade Ward, Kilby Snow, Sam McGee and Kirk McGee (the McGee Brothers), Elizabeth Cotten, Red Smiley, Grandpa Jones, Hazel Dickens, Mac Wiseman, the Lilly Brothers, Mississippi John Hurt, Dock Boggs, Jim Kweskin Jug Band, Maybelle Carter, Cousin Emmy, Merle Travis, Tony Alderman, and Seeger's own New Lost City Ramblers. The musical performances were recorded in both small, informal home venues and larger festivals, fiddlers conventions, or university settings, including New River Ranch near Rising Sun, Md.; Sunset Park, Pa.; and the Union Grove Fiddlers Convention in North Carolina. There are also recordings from the New Lost City Ramblers' European tour with the Stanley Brothers, Adam Landrenau and Cyp Landrenau, Cousin Emmy, and Roscoe Holcomb.

Seeger recorded in-depth interviews with many of these musicians, including Kirk McGee, Sam McGee, Wade Ward, Clarence Tom Ashley, Ernest V. Stoneman, the Benfield family, Kilby Snow, Charlie Bowman, Dock Boggs, Eck Robertson, Leslie Riddle, and Maybelle Carter. Of particular interest is Seeger's interview with Columbia Records talent scout Frank Walker. Other New Lost City Ramblers recordings include raw tracks and master tapes for the group's albums and live recordings at folk festivals, colleges, and other venues.

Supporting documentation includes Seeger's logs for all of the audio recordings and an artist index.
