Seeger Sessions Revival

A concert by Seeger Sessions Revival at O2 Academy Bristol, drawing on the songs of the American folk singer Pete Seeger. The act is named after the Seeger Sessions, the project built on his repertoire.

Seeger Sessions Revival takes its name from the Seeger Sessions, the project built on the songs of the American folk singer Pete Seeger. Bruce Springsteen recorded these songs in 2006 on the album We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions, arranged for a band that drew on folk, country and New Orleans styles. Seeger's best-known songs include "We Shall Overcome" and "Turn! Turn! Turn!", which form the core of that repertoire.

The night centres on American folk and roots music, the tradition of Seeger's songs and the arrangements that Springsteen's album gave them. Listeners who follow folk, Americana or Seeger's work will find the material most direct.

The concert takes place at O2 Academy Bristol, a venue in the city that hosts concerts and shows.
