Doug Levitt (born 1972) is an American singer-songwriter and author known principally for his eight-year project, The Greyhound Diaries. In 2004, Levitt set out on his first six-week journey by Greyhound and began writing songs and stories about fellow travelers, many struggling to get by. The journey, modeled on WPA-era projects that drew a fuller portrait of America, is ongoing, passing 80,000 miles at the end of 2012. Levitt has been featured by CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, Billboard, and Reuters. The Greyhound Diaries has resulted in two EP recordings, a one-man show, 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 and NBC.
