Peat Boggs Album Release Show with Pink Marlena | Live on the Cosmic Stage!

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. Special guest Pink Marlena will opening the show in celebration of Peat Boggs’ album release!

Miles for The Mission 5K Walk / Run

Join us for Union Gospel Mission’s biggest fundraiser of the year — the Miles for The Mission 5K Walk / Run! This isn’t your average 5K. Each step represents the daily journey many of our guests face — walking miles across Duluth, often through snow and cold, in search of warmth, food, and hope. By walking or running alongside us, you’ll not only experience that journey firsthand, but also help change it for someone else. Your participation directly supports the programs and services of Union Gospel Mission, providing meals, shelter, and care to those in need right here in our community. The route begins at Leif Erikson Park and ends at Bent Paddle Brewing Company in Lincoln Park, where the celebration continues! Enjoy cold brews, hot coffee, a food truck, and a bucket-style silent auction — all in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere. Create a personal fundraising page when you register,…

Music From Earth with Russ Kaplan and the Pale Blue Dot | Live on the Cosmic Stage

In 1977, aboard the Voyager space probe, humans sent a message of hope and good will into space for whoever might find it… a golden record album containing music from across the globe. Now, in 2025, composer/arranger Russ Kaplan has taken this “global mixtape” as inspiration for a unique concert that highlights our shared humanity. With an 8-piece ensemble comprised of only the most universal instruments — voices and percussion — Kaplan and his musicians present stirring and innovative new arrangements of highlights from the Golden Record, as well as original pieces created with multicultural collaborators. From China to the Republic of the Congo, from Bach to Chuck Berry, “Music From Earth” is a truly optimistic and international musical experience.
