GREYHOUND DIARIES: SONGS, STORIES, AND IMAGES OVER 120,000 BUS MILES
February 7 - May 26, 2019
Over 12 years and 120,000 Greyhound miles, Doug Levitt has written songs and stories, and has created photographic images of fellow bus riders. Inspired by Depression-era projects, he has performed at a range of places from VAs, shelters, and prisons to the Kennedy Center, Woody Guthrie Center, and Southern Poverty Law Center.
Prior to the Greyhound Diaries project, Levitt was a London-based foreign correspondent, working in places such as Iran, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Gaza. He was a Fulbright scholar, earning a master’s degree in Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict from the London School of Economics.
The BBC recently produced a one-hour documentary for radio about Levitt's ongoing journeys, with a TV version planned. He is presently working on an album of songs from the Greyhound Diaries project.
