Danny's Jam
July 17-18, 2026
Where Music Keeps a Legacy Alive
Danny’s Jam is an annual music festival dedicated to honoring Dan Sherrill, a tribute to the life, music, and spirit he shared with everyone around him.
What began as a way to remember Dan has grown into something greater: a weekend where friends, family, musicians, and music lovers connect through live performances and a shared sense of community.
Held at Recreational Springs Resort in Lead, Danny’s Jam brings together the natural beauty of the Black Hills and the energy of live music. From intimate acoustic sets to lively jam sessions, each performance reflects the passion and joy Dan inspired.
Join us for a weekend of music, connection, and giving.

EMBRACING MUSIC AND GENEROSITY
At its core, Danny’s Jam is about giving back. We are proud to continue building a philanthropic fund in Dan Sherrill’s honor, supporting future generations and extending his impact in meaningful ways.
More than an event, Danny’s Jam is a place where stories are shared, memories are made, and something larger than ourselves is celebrated. Whether you come for the music, the cause, or the community, you help make this gathering special.
Honoring Dan's Legacy
Danny’s Jam was created to carry forward Dan Sherrill’s spirit, including his love of music, his generosity, and his ability to bring people together. Each year, that spirit lives on through every performance, every conversation, and every connection made throughout the weekend.
Support Lasting Impact
Through Danny’s Jam, Dan’s legacy continues beyond the festival itself. Contributions to the fund help create opportunities for others, ensuring that the kindness and joy he shared continue to reach future generations.
