Doug Seegers is an Americana singer and songwriter based in Nashville.
While growing up in Setauket, New York (on Long Island), Seegers was drawn
to the music his parents loved and sang: hard country music from Hank
Williams, Patsy Cline, Faron Young, Webb Pierce, etc. Like most teens, he
fell in love with rock & roll and learned to play guitar. He was especially
taken with the music of John Lennon. He attended college and graduate
school in New York City.
In the early 70s, Seegers' musical aspirations took him to Austin, where he
renamed himself 'Duke the Drifter'. There he encountered guitarist and
producer Buddy Miller, and for a time they not only played together, but
Seegers lived with Miller and his wife. While there, he heard - and was
deeply moved by - the country-rock emerging from the Byrds, Buffalo
Springfield, Neil Young, and Gram Parsons' recordings with Emmylou Harris,
claiming they brought him back to his first musical love.
Seegers left Austin and relocated to upstate New York, where he married and
had children. After they were grown, he left for Nashville to once more
pursue his dream of being a musician. He busked on the streets and played
for tips wherever he could. He worked as a carpenter whenever possible, but
bad luck and addiction claimed everything but his voice, and he became
homeless. He continued busking and playing songwriters' nights at the
Little Pantry That Could, a charity run by Stacy Downey.
In early 2014 Jill Johnson, a Swedish country music star, came to Nashville
to make a documentary about down-and-out musicians for Swedish national
television. She learned of Downey's charity and became interested in her
songwriters' nights. Downey took the production crew to places where street
performers often played. When she spotted Seegers coming out of an alley,
she introduced him to Johnson. He initially refused to play, but eventually
sat down on the grass on the side of the alley and sang: 'I'm going down to
the river, to wash my soul again/I been running with the devil, and I know
he is not my friend'. She and her producer were stunned. Her entire project
became Seegers, the man and artist. She took him to the Cash Cabin (Johnny
and June's studio) and recorded "Going Down To The River". When it was
released in Sweden, it became a smash, topping the Scandinavian iTunes
charts.
This fueled more recordings. With producer Will Kimbrough, Seegers entered
Cowboy Jack Clement's Sound Emporium and recorded an entire album in three
days. He reunited with Miller, who initially begged off the session due to
time constraints - until he learned who it was. He dropped everything and
drove right down. He in turn enlisted Emmylou Harris to sing on a cover of
Parsons' "She". The completed 12-song album, entitled "Going Down To The
River", featured an all-star cast including Phil Madeira, Kimbrough, Al
Perkins, and Barbara Lamb, to name a few. It was released in Sweden in June
of 2014 and garnered sales, radio play, and chart success. Seegers went
over for a highly successful tour and his reputation began to spread
throughout Western Europe. Rounder Records issued "Going Down To The River"
in the US in October.
The album was followed by an album team-up with his discoveree Johnson for
"In Tandem", and Christmas record "Let's All Go Christmas Caroling
Tonight", in 2015, and was followed up with 2016's "Walking On The Edge Of
The World", which featured appearances from both Buddy Miller and Emmylou
Harris. In 2017, Seegers returns with interpretations of country legend
Hank Williams on "Sings Hank Williams".
