The Seeger Sessions Revival at Roscommon Arts Centre

What to Expect

The Seeger Sessions Revival brings a full band to Roscommon Arts Centre for a night built around the folk songbook of Pete Seeger, the American singer and activist whose work inspired Bruce Springsteen’s own Seeger Sessions project. Expect a set of protest songs, work songs and rousing folk standards played with a big-band arrangement, pitched at audience participation as much as performance. The Arts Centre’s listing frames it as a “rousing celebration” with singalongs built into the format, so it suits a crowd looking for a lively, communal night rather than a quiet seated recital. This is a new edition of a show that previously ran in Roscommon in July 2026, now returning for an autumn date.

Roscommon Arts Centre has built its autumn programme around a mix of theatre, comedy and music, and this booking slots into that wider season alongside touring plays and stand-up nights. A full band arrangement means a bigger stage set-up than the venue’s more intimate solo or duo bookings, so expect a fuller sound and a longer run time than a typical singer-songwriter show. Given the singalong format, the show tends to appeal as much to casual audiences with a general love of folk standards as to dedicated Seeger or Springsteen fans.
