Seasoned solo performers Dan Berggren, Peggy Lynn and Dan Duggan have combined talents to create a dynamic trio named Jamcrackers in honor of the 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 feel the same way about their music. These good friends and accomplished musicians bring a rare blend of humor history and musical spirit to their performances.
Dan Berggren is recognized as one of the finest songwriters in the North East and has received both the President's Award for Excellence in Teaching and the New York State Outdoor Education Assoc. Art and Literature Award. Dan has released six recordings of original songs -- Adirondack Green, Sitting in Your Kitchen, Mountain Air, Now Please Welcome, One With The Water, and Fresh Territory.
Peggy Lynn is recognized nationwide as a singer who puts her soul into her voice, and a songwriter with a heartfelt message. Her work has been featured at the famous Bluebird Café in Nashville, and in 1996 Peggy was selected “Adirondack Woman Of The Year”. She has released six recordings -- Determination, Chameleon, Bio Songs, Earned These Lines, Close to the Sun and Cloudsplitter.
Peggy recently co-authored a book about remarkable Adirondack women, titled “Breaking Trail,“ and has released a CD of songs she has written about these women.
Dan Duggan is known nationally for his wizardry on hammered dulcimer and flat picking guitar, and is the recipient of the National Hammered Dulcimer Championship. Dan has recorded six albums of original compositions -- First Frost, Last of May, Seasons of Change, Trillium Lane, Once in a Blue Moon and For the Love of Friends -- as well as three albums of traditional holiday music -- Christmas Morn, Winters Eve, and All Through The Night.
Dan’s CD, The Pieces of Our Life, original songs written with children, received a 1998 Parents Choice Award.
Dan’s dulcimer work can also be heard on Paul Simon’s Grammy nominated CD You're The One released in October of 2000. Dan also recently released Shenandoah Falls, original and traditional instrumental tunes.
The Trio has released 3 CDs of original and traditional songs and tunes Get Crackin, Jamcrackers, and Ten Miles to Saturday Night and are known across the country for their masterful harmonies and soulful arrangements.
