Mike Seeger

Mike Seeger is an American folk musician and folklorist.

He was exposed to traditional music through his mother (Ruth Crawford-Seeger) and father (Charles Seeger), who worked with musicologists John and Alan Lomax. His famous musical family includes half-brother Pete Seeger and sister Peggy Seeger.

He is an accomplished musician; a distinctive singer who plays autoharp, banjo, fiddle, dulcimer, guitar, mouth harp, mandolin, and dobro. At 25, along with John Cohen and Tom Paley, he became a founding member of the New Lost City Ramblers.

His influence on the folk scene is described at some length by Bob Dylan in his recent book, Chronicles.
