Lydia Adams Davis

Singer/songwriter Lydia Adams Davis brings fresh interpretations of Hudson River/Pete Seeger songs and poignant, often funny, originals. Her repertoire includes traditional American folk music and American Songbook standards. She accompanies herself on a variety of instruments including guitar, ukulele and piano. Lydia’s interaction with her audience welcomes singing along, and participation in improvisational songs on the spot.

Lydia has performed in festivals and coffeehouses throughout the United States and Canada, including The Great Hudson River Revival, Mariposa, Falcon Ridge and Boulder Folk Festivals, and venues such as The Towne Crier and The Hudson Valley Folk Guild. She has shared the stage with many prominent folk artists over the 40-plus years of her career. Guy Davis, Dar Williams, Tom Paxton, Tom Chapin, and the Hudson River Sloop Singers have welcomed her opening sets and background harmonies.

“Lydia combines warmth and magic to bring the long history of folk music home to your heart.” Peter Yarrow

“A splendid performer ~One of our finest folk composers!” Bob Sherman, Woody’s Children

Roland Mousaa

Grammy Award winner Roland Mousaa is a singer, songwriter and inventor who worked and performed with Pete Seeger, to help start the environmental Clearwater Organization.

Pete said, “Roland is one of the greatest unknown musician/artists. He has worked with and been loved by our family since ’69.”

In 1968, Pete’s main contact with American Indian Movement was Roland. He was also Pete’s main contact to the Buddhist monks (Ishibashi) who lived and worked together in 1978 in Woodstock, NY. With Pete’s help, they created the historical Central Park, NY, 1982 Anti-Nuclear Demonstration, which England immediately took after and created their own historical Anti-Nuclear Movement movement in 1983.

Roland helped Pete with many concerts and participated in presenting the Native Indian Nations at Madison Square Garden, on Pete’s 90th Birthday Celebration, singing the “The Indian Prayer” song. Roland worked with Pete starting 1968, until his death Jan. 27, 2014. Today, he now resides on the Turtle Mt. Reservation in ND, with Leonard Peltier, who was freed on Feb. 13, 2025 by President Biden.

Roland is also an inventor who holds two U.S. patents and one pending on clean electrical wind energy.

Victor Roland Vargas Mousaa is a Native American from New Mexico born on May 27, 1949. From the age of 4, he learned music and arts at St. Vincent’s Home for Children in Denver, CO. At age 14, he was sent to farms, to work with farmers and migrant workers until he graduated high school. In his early years, he learned Pete Seeger songs and from him became aware of the corruption of politicians in Washington DC, and refused to fight the Vietnam War.

Roland hitchhiked to Greenwich Village, NY in 1968, and his talent was immediately spotted by John Hammond Sr. from Columbia Records, who recorded him but could not release him because of his Vietnam draft dodging problem. Richie Havens recorded one of his songs called “The Indian Prayer,” and invited him to the Woodstock 1969 Music Festival. Soon after, he performed with Bob Dylan on PBS, and after worked and performed with many other well known musicians. With Pete, he work and lived on the Clearwater Sloop when it first sailed on the Hudson River, in Beacon, NY. Years later, in 1972, Congress finally was forced to pass the “Clean Water/Air Act Bill” because of these environmental movements.

Working with Pete, he went to march on demonstrations in Washington, DC, and marched with him on the Civil Rights movements down South. He also painted landscapes, which won him the International Arts Award from the Metropolitan Art Museum in 1977. He then went to the School of Visual Arts, NY., on the Presidential Arts Scholarship Award.
