Dan Duggan is a nationally touring performer and teacher who is rapidly being acknowledged as one of the finest dulcimer players and composers in the country. As a recipient of the prestigious National Hammered Dulcimer Championship, Dan’s accomplishment is considerable as he is the first winner to have performed all original compositions.

Dan has recorded six albums of original compositions, and a family album of original songs written with children in schools throughout New York State, entitled “The Pieces of Our Life.” This album received a Parents Choice Award. Dan & Peggy Lynn also have recorded four CDs. Dan’s dulcimer work can be heard on Paul Simons’ Grammy nominated CD “You’re the One,” and “The Paul Simon Collection.”

One of Dan’s main objectives is to bring traditional music and instrumentation to audiences unfamiliar with this genre of music. Through his innovative blending of traditional instrumentation with creative musical format, Dan is indeed accomplishing his goal.
