Over the course of his long and illustrious musical career sprouting from the same teal backwater as Bob Dylan on northern Minnesota’s Iron Range, Rich Mattson came up learning songs from John Denver to Van Halen with a little Elvis Costello and Neil Young tossed into the mix. Add in some heaping handfuls of U2, the Replacements, and CCR and blend until the ingredients come splattering in bits and pieces and you have around 500 tunes and this fella’s discography. Now residing in Sparta MN with his life and love partner Germaine Gemberling, the two have been writing, recording, and performing (among other things) together since 2010. The latest incarnation of the Northstars (with longtime drummer and cohort Keely Lane and bassist Kyle Westrick) features Duluth’s Dan Anderson on keys. Their 6 albums have received rave reviews and high praise from the indie rock/americana/jangle-core crowd. The Northstars perform all around…

Peat Boggs is an eclectic quartet that plays an organic blend of groove, jazz, and twisted folk, shifting easily from smooth melodies to hints of doom and surf rock. Cole Webster shapes the band’s sound with gritty, expressive guitar. Ben Wagener holds down the low end with melodic, wigglin’ bass lines. Chris Shea drives the groove on drums and all things rhythm. Charlie French delivers murky yet reflective lyricism that weaves seamlessly through the band’s lush arrangements. Secret weapon Cavan Denning joins in on sweet, slippery pedal steel. Marlena Boedigheimer, a tenor saxophonist from Duluth, Minnesota, began playing at 14, inspired by Pete Rock & CL Smooth’s “T.R.O.Y.” Her passion for jazz grew through mentorship and high school jazz band participation. She pursued a Jazz Studies degree at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, where personal struggles deepened her connection to music. Influenced by avant-garde artists like Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders,…
