In a Fresh Air interview from 1985, Seeger talked to host Terry Gross about his friendship with fellow folk music icon Woody. Backed by a gospel choir (and the Lincoln Memorial), he played Woody Guthrie's 'This Land Is Your Land' with Bruce Springsteen and Pete Seeger at President Obama's inaugural celebration. The singer, songwriter and activist died Monday at the age of 94.

He plays banjo, guitar, harmonica and sings in English and Spanish. A founder of The Mammals and a member of The Anarchist Orchestra, Rodríguez-Seeger is the grandson of folk musician Pete Seeger. Rodriguez-Seeger put out four albums with his band The Mammals, and has played with Sarah Lee Guthrie, Woody Guthrie's granddaughter, in the group RIG. Musicians Toshi Reagon, Steve Earle, Pete Seeger and Tao Rodriguez-Seeger perform in the Clearwater Benefit Concert Celebrating Pete Seegers 90th Birthday. Tao Rodríguez-Seeger (born 1972) is an American contemporary folk musician. In an interview about music and censorship for the Web site, Rodriguez-Seeger said, 'Nobody's going to sit around for three hours and listen to a musician if they're not entertaining.' Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, the grandson of folk legend Pete Seeger (one of the Newport Folk Festival's founders), plays what he calls 'alt-folk rock 'n' roll.' He began performing with his grandfather as a teenager, and has traveled a long route through many musical genres, picking up elements along the way and weaving them into the politically outspoken folk music for which his family is known. Tao Rodriguez-Seeger performs at the Newport Folk Festival.
