Jamcrackers

"Will win you over with their front porch style picking and charm [but] there's much more" SING OUT!

The uber-talented trio brings strong songs, tight harmonies, and lively dance music to the stage through Peggy and "the Dans' " energy and warm voices: rich in tradition, overflowing with heart and humor.

In concert, the three veteran musicians are reminiscent of - well, three Adirondack streams merging to form one mighty river. National hammered dulcimer champion Dan Duggan is known for his wizardry on the instrument, as well as his flat-picking guitar licks. Peggy Lynn sings in her bluesy alto about strong women and life in the North Country. Dan Berggren's songs and stories give voice to the spirit of hard-working folks and inspire care of our beautiful planet. 

The Jamcrackers at once bring us back to the days of mountain men, strong mountain women, settlers and Gilded Age visitors, and take us forward to tomorrow's issues shaping the future of our beloved mountains and beyond. There's plenty of fun, camaraderie and great music along the way.

Embedded in the lore, music and topography of those mountains, and much beloved to attendees of historic Great Camp Sagamore's sellout "Mountain Music" weekends, the trio's original and traditional music echoes the timeless beauty of the still-remote, forever wild pine and lake-studded wilderness.
