Rivertown Kids...Changing the world one song at a time!
Pete Seeger recording with the Rivertown Kids (June 2011)
We Sing Out!
The Rivertown Kids is a community group of musically-minded young people, envisioned and supported by Pete Seeger and located in his home town in the Hudson River Valley.
Our mission is to gather together young people (ages 9-14 years) who are willing to make a commitment to social and environmental justice by singing, songwriting, recording, and performing to 'get the word out' about living in a more responsible world.
Rivertown Kids work hard. We give our time and energy to be part of the solution to building a better world...in our own unique way.

Thanks Ani!
Pete Seeger, with Rivertown Kids, lend their voices to Which Side Are You On? a new recording on Ani DiFranco's upcoming album!
Practicing at the Beacon Sloop Club
...Ani is joined on her stunning new version of Which Side Are You On? by Pete Seeger, whom she praises as “my elder, my forefather in folk music and political song.” She contributed her own straight-from-the headlines verses to the song and has used it to close her own live shows. The newly recorded version of Which Side Are You On? is a funk-fueled epic, incorporating not just Ani’s band, but Seeger himself on banjo and vocals alongside The Rivertown Kids, a Hudson Valley-based children’s chorus, and The Roots of Music Marching Crusaders, a brass band.
