Music on Main Street: The Jamcrackers

The Indian Lake Theater is proud to present our next Music on Main Street event: An Evening with the Jamcrackers! The group includes three outstanding singer/songwriters. They will appear at our restored 1930s movie house for an evening of traditional Adirondack and original music.

This is a family-friendly event.

DAN BERGGREN. Dan Berggren's Adirondack roots have sustained this award-winning folk singer for over 40 years, filling his songs with honesty, humor and a strong sense of place. Through his performances, you get to explore the many dimensions of home, hard working folks, taking care of our planet and each other.

Berggren is old-school folk in the best of ways, simple, solid and sure.- David Malachowski, Times Union Albany FOR MORE ABOUT DAN: http://www.berggrenfolk.com

PEGGY LYNN. Peggy Lynn, singer, songwriter, and educator, brings an infectious enthusiasm to all her endeavors. Peggy ranges from folksy to blues with equal ease, alone or harmonizing with others. With a sultry, yet powerful alto voice, Peggy gives a clear message of the passion underlying her songs. While her style and range give meaning and emotion to all her work, her most powerful message is for the contributions and burdens of women.

Peggy believes there needs to be a female role added to the record of Adirondack history. She co-authored Breaking Trail: Remarkable Women in the Adirondacks with Sandra Weber. Bringing these stories to the public stage in her program, Mountain Women Can Be Heroes, Peggy celebrates, through song and story, the comical, amazing and poignant experiences of Adirondack women as the unsung heroes. Peggys most recent solo recording is an anthology of her ballads of North Country women titled Adirondack Woman. FOR MORE ABOUT PEGGY: http://www.quercusmusic.com

DAN DUGGAN. Dan Duggan, nationally touring performer and teacher, is rapidly being acknowledged as one of the finest dulcimer players and composers in the country. As recipient of the prestigious National Hammered Dulcimer Championship, Dan's accomplishment, though based on technical merit, is even more considerable as he is the first winner to have performed all original compositions.

Although pioneering innovative compositional work for the dulcimer, Dan's renditions of traditional Irish and American tunes reflect his study and understanding of their original context. Whether re-creating 18th century harp pieces or vibrant 19th century dance tunes, Dan has engaged audiences nationwide in an excursion of musical styles and moods.
