Jamcrackers
Advertisement
Seasoned solo performers Dan Berggren, Peggy Lynn, and Dan Duggan had combined their talents to create a dynamic trio named in honor of the Adirondack river drivers who broke up log jams. They worked hard to find solutions, to get things rolling again, and it was a job that couldn’t be done alone. Dan, Peggy, and Dan felt the same way about their music. These good friends and accomplished musicians brought a rare blend of humor, history, and musical spirit to their performances.
The musical fun that Jamcrackers had on stage was genuine and contagious. Their diverse blend of folk and blues, ballads, gospel, and dance tunes sparked a rare chemistry and a guaranteed good time. Dan Duggan recently passed away and Dan Berggren and Peggy Lynn are continuing Jamcrackers to honor the life of Dan Duggan.
Award-winning educator and songwriter Dan Berggren has deep roots in the Adirondacks. His music reflects the spirit and the hardworking people of that region. He has traveled around the world in performances from Central Africa to Transylvania.
Author and environmental activist Bill McKibben says: “Dan is a throwback to the old role of the folk singer … he’s articulating things that need to be said right now.”
Peggy Lynn writes and performs songs about women and the natural beauty of the North Country and her bluesy alto melts every audience. With Sandra Weber, she co-authored Breaking Trail: Remarkable Women of the Adirondacks. In 2005, both Peggy and Dan Berggren received the Adirondack Mountain Club’s Education Award.
“If you’re of the opinion that songs should not just sound good, they should do good, then you’ll love this harmonizing do-right group . . . They sing of nature, strong women, healthy communities, and peace, backing their rich vocal blend with world-class instrumentation.” – Sarah Craig, Caffè Lena
“These Adirondack folk artists have played plenty separately, earning their pedigree by releasing 30-plus albums. … When together, they bring fresh arrangements and brilliant harmonies to traditional and original songs.” – Schenectady Gazette
