Clearwater Generations Concert at the Music Hall
by Kerry Dexter

A group of fine musicians gathered to celebrate Earth Day in the Hudson
Valley, New York. Pete Seeger, American icon and folk legend and Clearwater
founder, along with grandson Tao Seeger lead a line up of musicians for a
benefit concert, Clearwater Generations: An Earth Day Celebration, which
took place April 22, 2011, at the Tarrytown Music Hall in Tarrytown, New
York

Clearwater Generations: An Earth Day Celebration grew out of the 2011 Great
Hudson River Revival, Clearwater's annual festival and fundraiser, which is
held annually on Father's Day weekend in June. This year the Clearwater
Festival is also titled Clearwater Generations.

"Clearwater's environmental mission is about inspiring and educating the
next generation, and we have applied this theme to music," said concert
organizer Steve Lurie. "Honoring tradition while looking toward the future
has always been a major part of the Clearwater Festival. The Generations
concert is about classic Clearwater artists performing and inspiring their
children and grandchildren, and carrying on their legacy through song."

Featured artists in addition to Pete Seeger and Tao Seeger include Peter
Yarrow and Bethany Yarrow, Bernice Johnson Reagon and Toshi Reagon, and
David Amram and Family. Performances by Clearwater friends and special
guests including Janis Ian, Tom Paxton, Tom Chapin, Livingston Taylor, Jay
Ungar and Molly Mason, Guy Davis, Rufus Cappadocia and the Power of Song
will round out Clearwater's Earth Day Celebration.

Tarrytown Music Hall, located in Westchester County, is just 35 minutes
north of New York City at 13 Main Street, Tarrytown, New York.

About the Generations Artists:

Legendary folk musician and activist Pete Seeger has recorded and performed
tirelessly throughout his long career, honoring the folksingers' commitment
to spread the word and involve the audience. Seeger founded the organization
Clearwater in 1966 when he decided to "build a boat to save the river" with
the belief that a majestic replica of the sloops that sailed the Hudson in
the 18th and 19th centuries would bring people to the river where they could
experience its beauty and be moved to preserve it. Thus inspired, the
106-feet-long tall ship Clearwater was launched in 1969.
