On Sunday, June 17th the Boonville Black River Canal Museum will present Adirondack Folk Singer Dan Berggren in a concert to raise funds for the museum.  Dan Berggren 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. Hearing stories and songs from local friends and neighbors, Dan has developed a style that captures the spirit of the mountains.  A familiar voice at coffeehouses, museums, schools and libraries throughout New York State, Mr. Berggren has performed in venues in Inlet and Holland Patent.

Mr. Berggren will be joined by the Adirondack Community Chorus and the Canal Youth Chorale.  The Adirondack Community Chorus is directed by Peg Nuspliger.  This is the Choruses second time performing with Mr. Berggren.   The Canal Youth Chorale is directed by Sarah Stedman.  The group is comprised of students from Adirondack High School and Middle School.  This is the fourth year that students have participated in this fundraiser.

The concert will start at 3:00 pm in the Boonville Elementary School Auditorium on Ford Street.  Pre-sale tickets are available for $8.00 at Fynmore Studios and Creekside Gifts and Antiques or from any Museum Board Member.  Tickets will be available at the door for $10.00 on a first come first serve basis.  For more ticket information please call Barb at 392-4639.  CD’s will be available for sale.
