Makwawigwamikwe Marlena Boedigheimer was born and raised in Duluth, Minnesota and is a member of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. She began playing the tenor saxophone at age 14, inspired after hearing the instrument sampled on Pete Rock & CL Smooth’s “T.R.O.Y”.

Her projects center around the use of the Ojibwe language, Anishinaabemowin, as well as stories from her relatives and ancestors, aiming to raise awareness of the history of her people and the contemporary Ojibwe world.

Live Music: Death Valley Yacht Club
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Based out of Duluth, Minnesota, Death Valley Yacht Club is the creative collaboration of musicians Charlie Jacobs and Alex Oberton. The two-piece band’s signature sound features their intricate vocal harmonies sung over the interplay between their tightly-arranged acoustic guitars. MN Songbird described the band's sound as “timeless”, saying they could imagine hearing the music “in the 90’s opening for someone like Elliott Smith.” Their original music takes inspiration from artists like The Beatles, Neil Young, The Avett Brothers, and Jesse Welles. DVYC’s music brings to mind the high and lonesome essence of bluegrass and modern folk music, having been compared to classic and beloved acts such as Simon and Garfunkel, The Milk Carton Kids, and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Their debut album, Dead Flowers, was published to various streaming services in April 2025.

Live Music: Big Into
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
BIG INTO is a Twin Cities based trio featuring guitarist/vocalist Jozef Conaway, drummer/vocalist Curtis Kraft Mattson, and Duluth bassist David Mold. The band blends space rock textures, sharp punk leaning rhythms, and exploratory lyricism into a groove forward sound that is both expansive and controlled, drawing comparisons to Talking Heads for its rhythmic complexity and dance friendly sensibility.
Conaway’s 12 string guitar work and melodic instincts shape the band’s sonic identity, while Mattson’s big, propulsive drumming and shared vocals drive each song with urgency and movement. Mold, also a member of Duluth’s The Leave Alones, anchors the trio with a commanding low end and slick licks. With a full-length album from 2020 and two EPs released in 2024, BIG INTO delivers live performances that feel intentional, energetic, and built for the northland.

Live Music: Saltydog
6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
SALTYDOG
Their rhythms may be a little bossy. Their drummers commanded me to feel Saucy. Another Duluth band that can hold a groove. The Bass lines funk and the bootys move. Some songs tell stories and others tell moods. They sing about friends and they sing about foods. With Improvisations both jarring and dreamy, one guitar clucks and the other ones creamy. Looking for a band to follow outta the fog? Well look no further than Saltydog.Duluth-based northwoods funk jam band Saltydog consists of Jacob Mahon on guitar and vocals, drummer Owen “Owie”Mahon (who also does vocals), Sam Deters on guitar, Bryon “Lefty” Johnson on percussion, Calvin “Calzone” Lund on the Bass and Gavin St. Clair on the keys.
