A Pete Seeger Singalong Songbook. Edited by Annie Patterson & Peter Blood (creators of Rise Up Singing and Rise Again songbooks)

"50 songs to remake the world"! With a moving foreword by Harry Belafonte

We created this book to celebrate the centennial of Pete Seeger's birth - and for use at in singalongs and other events celebrating the 100th anniversary of Pete's birth this year.

The songbook is available now in two different formats:

ORDER 8x11 Songbook (8x11 spiral bound songbook)
ORDER as 6x9 song booklet (6x9 "saddle-stiched" song booklet)
Order copies in bulk of the 6x9 songbooks for use at singalongs
NEW! Inexpensive Package Specials for use in a variety of settings and size groups.

Both editions contain identical content, including words & chords to:

30 of the most important songs that Pete wrote, cowrote, or adapted
15 classic songs he regularly performed and taught audiences
5 songs honoring Pete's work and legacy
along with quotations by Pete about many of the songs, taken from his autobiography Where Have All the Flowers Gone

Pete had an uncanny ability to get an audience singing their hearts out, even if they didn't know a word of the language the songs he was teaching and leading were in. It didn't matter whether he was leading a group of 20 or of 20,000 - or even a half a million as he did at some of the huge peace marches on the Washington Mall.

Songs written or co-written by Pete:
