The Low Anthem at the 2011 Clearwater Festival
The Low Anthem performed at Clearwater's Great Hudson River Revival in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, on June 18, 2011. Inspired by Pete Seeger’s desire to clean up the river over 40 years ago, the Great Hudson River Revival initially helped raise the funds to build the sloop Clearwater and today supports the non-profit Hudson River Sloop Clearwater in its numerous educational programs and its work toward environmental and social justice, as well as keeping the Clearwater afloat.
