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, Marlena developed a unique sound and performed with local groups like AfroGeode and the Gemstones. She also contributed to various genre-spanning recordings and was selected for the Women in Jazz Organization’s 2021–2022 mentorship program. After graduating in 2022, she released music under the name “pink marlena” and is now pursuing a Master’s in Improvisation at the University of Michigan. A member of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, she integrates her Indigenous heritage into her music, focusing on language revitalization and cultural storytelling through her recent and upcoming projects.

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 Marlena Boedigheimer will be sitting in to help celebrate the release of “Setting In” & “Do It On Your Own Time!” - The bands fresh batch of singles.
