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.

The members of Sometime, Maybe have been playing music in Duluth for over 20 years, but it wasn’t till 2023 that the four of them began playing together. A cumulative of their various backgrounds, tastes, and experiences, they make music that soothes your soul, ruffles your feathers, and gets stuck in your head.

With Erick holding court on the bass, teaching us lessons and keeping it right, and Luke doing mean things to the drums, keeping it tight – that leaves room for Mary to wow with soaring melodies and crushing keys, whilst Asa croons and croaks, tells bad jokes, and strums the ol’ git-fiddle. They love hanging out, making music, getting creative, and maybe playing a show or two — and whatever you think their music is, that’s exactly what it is.
Rooted in tradition yet driven by improvisation, Barefoot Bluegrass is a jam-inspired bluegrass band that brings together four seasoned musicians with a shared passion for exploring the frontiers of acoustic music. Harrison Olk on banjo, Jon Miller on guitar, Nate Hynum on mandolin, and Joe Sheehan on bass craft a sound that blends the grit of classic bluegrass with the freewheeling energy of a jam band. Together, they create a dynamic live experience, where no two shows are the same, and every set is an invitation to dive deep into the possibilities of modern string music.
