Dan Berggren’s roots are firmly in the Adirondack mountains of northern New York state where he was raised but his music has branched out across many borders. The award-winning educator and musician has entertained audiences from New England to Kentucky, Texas and the Midwest, as well as overseas in the British Isles, Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria, Romania and Central Africa.

The 30-year folk veteran held various jobs before devoting his life to music full-time: working in the woods with a forest ranger and surveyor; radio producer and announcer in Europe; professor of audio and radio studies at SUNY Fredonia; and owner of Sleeping Giant Records which has produced thirteen albums. Dan's song “Power from Above,” from his latest album FRESH TERRITORY, prompted author Bill McKibben to write: “Dan is a throwback to the old role of the folk singer . . . he’s articulating things that need to be said right now.”
