He basically lived as a homeless struggling musician.In 2012 Aaron Espe an American singer-songwriter and record producer based in Nashville Tennessee uploaded a live rendition of Doug Seegers singing Going Down to the River on his own YouTube account. Espe entitled his upload Who Is Doug Seegers?

The video did not pick up much reaction though.Doug Seegers became known to the Swedish public when he appeared during the Swedish TV show presented by Jill Johnson titled Jills veranda.

At the time the program was recording its presenter Jill Johnson her guest Magnus Carlson and the production team from Eyeworks met Seegers who was sitting on a park bench in Nashville.

Just minutes earlier Johnson was buying food from a street vendor and the latter upon hearing she was filming a documentary about music in Nashville recommended that they give a listen to a street musician just across the street telling her You have to hear him he has the most unique voice in country music.

Johnson took the advice and headed towards Seegers. Doug Seegers performed his own song Going Down to the River. Johnson and Carlson loved his performance so much that they returned some time later and offered to record the song with him in Johnny Cash's old studio in Nashville.
