Artist Biography
Hitmakers in the late '40s and early '50s, the Weavers evolved from the earlier Pete Seeger/Woody Guthrie-led folk/political activist group, the Almanac Singers. Blacklisted during the McCarthy era, the Weavers still managed to ignite the late-'50s/early-'60s folk revival. Musically, they played an important role in establishing folk music as a commercially viable art form and introduced many classic songs to the American musical lexicon. ~ Rovi Staff
