Jamcrackers Kick It at Great Camp Sagamore

Seasoned solo performers Dan Berggren, Peggy Lynn and Dan Duggan combined talents to create a dynamic trio named in honor of the river drivers who broke up log jams.

The Jamcrackers are good friends and accomplished musicians bring a rare blend of humor, history and musical spirit to their performances.

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 and it has traveled around the world in performances from Central Africa to Transylvania.

Peggy Lynn writes and performs songs about women and the natural beauty of the North Country, and her bluesy alto melts every audience.

National Hammered Dulcimer Champion Dan Duggan is known from Maine to California for his wizardry on the hammered dulcimer, flat-picking guitar, and keyboards. In addition to his extensive array of recordings (18), Dan's dulcimer talents are spotlighted on Paul Simon's Grammy-nominated album You're the One and The Paul Simon Collection. Many of Dan's original tunes are published in the collection Coming Home. Also known for his dance calling, Dan actually calls while playing the hammered dulcimer.

The Jamcrackers' musical performance is genuine and contagious. The trio's diverse blend of folk and blues, ballads, gospel, and dance tunes spark a rare chemistry and a guaranteed good time. 

We are hoping they’ll perform Dan Befggren’s “When Harry Carried the Mail”.
