Join Dan Berggren as he comes to the Mohawk Valley, to share his songs and stories from the Adirondacks. Dan will be performing at the Arkell Museum at Canajoharie.
This award-winning musician and educator grew up in the Adirondacks on the land farmed by his mother’s family for generations and has worked in the woods with forest ranger and survey crews. Hearing stories and songs from local friends and neighbors, Dan has developed a style that captures the spirit of the mountains.
