Doug Levitt

Doug Levitt (born 1972) is an American singer-songwriter and writer known principally for The Greyhound Diaries, a project lasting more than a decade and traveling over 100,000 miles via Greyhound bus and has resulted in songs, stories and images of fellow travelers, many struggling to get by. The project, modeled on WPA-era projects that drew a fuller portrait of America, is ongoing, passing 100,000 miles at the end of 2015. Levitt has been featured by CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, Billboard, and Reuters. The Greyhound Diaries has resulted in two records, a one-man show, published writings, photo exhibits and a web series. Prior to embarking on his long journey, Levitt was a foreign correspondent. Based in London, he dispatched from Iran, Rwanda, and Bosnia for, among others, ABC, CNN and MSNBC.
