Almanac Singers

The Almanac Singers were an influential American folk music group active in the early 1940s, known for their politically engaged songs. Comprised of artists like Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, they used music to promote social justice, labor rights, and anti-war messages. Their songs often reflected the struggles of working people and social issues of the time, blending traditional folk styles with contemporary themes. Though short-lived, their work helped shape the American folk revival and inspired future generations of musicians committed to activism through music.
