Dan Berggren

Dan has been collecting, writing and singing folk music of the Adirondacks for the past 30 years. He grew up in the mountains on the land farmed by his mother's family and worked in the woods on a forest ranger's crew and a survey crew. He captures the spirit of the mountains in the stories and songs he heard from local friends and neighbors.
