Dan Berggren and Ed Lowman in Concert
Folk musicians Dan Berggren and Ed Lowman, with Special Guest Rev. Joe Cleveland, present an evening of songs and stories at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Saratoga Springs on Friday, September 12 at 8:00 PM.
Playing guitar and banjo, Dan is joined by Ed Lowman, whose rock-solid bass playing and down-home fiddling are known throughout the North Country and New England. Not only has he performed as one of the infamous Will Dicker Boys and with the high-energy band Quickstep, Ed has organized and played for countless contra and square dances.
A tradition-based songsmith, Dan writes with honesty, humor and a strong sense of place. His songs explore the many dimensions of home, hard-working folks, taking care of our planet and each other. Author Bill McKibben says, "Dan is a throwback to the old role of the folk singer... he's articulating things that need to be said right now." The 40-year folk veteran has held various jobs before devoting his life to music full time: working in the woods with a forest ranger and surveyor; radio producer for the American Forces Network, Europe; professor of audio and radio studies for the State University of New York, College at Fredonia; and owner of Sleeping Giant Records which has produced fifteen albums. Tongues in Trees is the latest release.
While his roots are firmly in the Adirondacks where he was raised, Dan's music has branched out across many borders. The award-winning educator and musician has entertained audiences from Kentucky to Michigan, Belgium to Bulgaria, and Zimbabwe to Transylvania.
